The real problem is not market share but "mind share". That is, even if the proportion of users viewing your site via an iPad is small, the reaction from clients when they realize their content isnt viewable on the magical device will be disproportionally large. It becomes stickier still when you consider that a big percentage of the people who will use iPads are in the ad/creative/communications world, eg the same people making decisions and recommendations for whether or not to use Flash. If you're sitting in a conference room in which 90% of the people have iPhones and there are a few iPads sitting on the table, arguing that the percentage of non-Flash users is negligible becomes tougher.
