The iPhone does not, and almost certainly will not, use Flash at all.
Same goes for the iPad.

Anyone know when Flash CS 5 is coming, or maybe entering beta? I am anxious to try creating an iPhone app using it.

Check this out, it has already been announced:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
then developing Flash apps for the iPhone, regardless of whether Adobe has an SDK to build app, is not really a viable proposition.
No Flash on the iPad either

I think we may be talking about 2 different things?
I am referring to Adobe's Flash CS5 product with has an 'iphone packager' that allows you to build Native iPhone apps. I am not referring to running flash on the device.
Confusing names.
But to answer the OP's question, there will be no public Beta of this product and Adobe shows nothing on their site, that I found, about a release date for the poduct.

Steve Jobs hates flash. He says that it is inefficient code that will kill that batteries in his idevices. He is moving towards HTML5, and lots of sights are developing non flash versions for the iPad. Flash on an portable idevice - forget it.
Correct, this is not about running flash ON the device, it is about using the flash builder / Actionscript language to build an app, then make it in to a native iPhone app (iPhone packager).

with these apps.
The SDK for the iPhone and the Developers Agreement do not allow for any of these apps to be created on a Windows machine.
Apple is likely to refuse their appearance in the App store because of it.
