*Flash*
Many people will bemoan the lack of Flash in the iPad. It wasn't
mentioned, but eagle-eyed viewers would have seen the missing plugin
icon on the New York Times site during yesterday's demo, and given that
Apple clearly hates Flash as both a non-open web "standard" and as a
buggy, CPU-hungry piece of code, it's unlikely it will ever be added,
unless Apple decides it wants to cut the battery life down to two hours.
Who needs Flash, anyway? YouTube and Vimeo have both switched to H.264
for video streaming (in Chrome and Safari, at least -- Firefox doesn't
support it), and the rest of the world of Flash is painful to use.
In fact, we think the lack of Flash in the iPad will be the thing that
finally kills Flash itself. If the iPad is as popular as the iPhone and
iPod Touch, Flash-capable browsers will eventually be in the minority.
