iPhone doesn’t support Flash so you can’t play a lot of webgames.
Android phones support Flash, but it’s no use. Most of the games use a lot of memory so Farmville, Cafeworld, My Empire and other facebook games are not even loading or have a veeeeery low FPS.
(iPhone has a FREE native Farmville application)
Your only chance are HTML-only games like Mafia Wars…

iPhone doesn’t support flash, so there goes a large number of games on the ‘net. However a lot of them are making their way to iPhone anyway in the form of actual App Store games.

The iPhone has fantastic support for HTML5 and Ajax. It runs on a version Webkit which is what powers the Safari and Google Chrome browsers. It’s a fully fledged browser.

What doesn’t work so well is hover – because the iPhone is a touch device there is no way to ‘hover’ on an element. If a game includes hover as part of it’s core mechanic then you may have some difficulty. Thankfully this is rare.
