Angela: That is a great suggestion.
Normally a client will ask for detection, but some will opt to allow the
user to choose which version as browsers false report and failing
gracefully doesn't always work.
eg. Which version (plain html with javascript employing hacks to make
it work with each browser, or fun and flashy)?
So in this case, why not state something similar to what Angela
suggested? if they choose flash, give a link to Apples complaint e-mail
and government consumer affair websites where users can publicly
register complaints.

Right now we are simply wasting our message opportunity.

*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.
go.
