Well don't be surprised if Apple continues to exclude Flash that Abode
gets into the hardware business.
They have more money than God, still less than Apple maybe...
oh what a great battle that would be....

If you explain the consumer that Flash is an ogre in performance and so battery
life and can be make your 500$ toy to crash, then people will be fine without
it ;)
But that would be a real slap in the face to Adobe, who is already pissed off
with Apple.
Anyway, they could provide a flash player on the iPad, that prompt the user.
Then a Safari option in System prefs could choose between Enable / Disable /
Prompt me each time.
Or even better : launch the flash movie only when you clic on the missing flash
movie blue icon…
Technical solution exists, that's not the real problem.
Don't forget a big point: Flash provides developers to create pretty sexy
cross-platform webapps, and specially games, in just a few days.
Who would pay 300$ per year + 90$ per app submission to publish free content on
the AppStore where a flash webapp is free to publish and can also accessible to
Android users ?
Big money problem for Apple then … their business plan is based on the AppStore
+ exclusive contents

I personally won't argue your point about flash, I personally agree,

I agree with your point on the handhelds, and while the iPad could definitely
be considered a hand held, I think Apple's plan is to capture the net book
users who want something that looks pretty, which the Air failed to do. I can
think of far bigger reasons it may not get adopted than flash.....
Assuming the device has the same OS limitations as the iPhone and iPod the list
follows....
No File system or browser - no file downloads and storage, iWorks will probably
have its own internal system that only uses its files
The app store being the only way to install software means only app store
approved applications - no downloading of a whole internet of useless and
useful software.
Safari will probably still have File form inputs disabled - they could at least
enable the iPhone OS devices access to the camera roll for uploads.
Personally I can forgive a lot of these for my iPhone, but if I were looking
for a device like the iPad I would want a lot more freedom and regular computer
options.
Agree.
I hope the next MSI will have all of those, but Flash® is to me, for mobile
handheld, just a good way to suck down your battery in 3 hours and be a good
memory leak problem.
Perhaps Asus will strike the market like they did with netbooks...
If everything gets slow and webpages take twice time to show because of those 3
flash banners, thanks i'll be good without it :)

Mass adoption is used to limitations … Flash Lite is available on quite a few
phones out for a year and a half now: iPhone is the most sold phone out.
Flash is a must have on desktop, but people are not used to have flash on
handheld so well...

I agree from a Developer Geek POV, but if they want mass adoption of the device
they shouldv'e put flash support in. I think the general web surfer can
overlook its exclusion on the iPhone and iPod platforms, due to screen size and
bandwidth limitations, but on a screen that size even with bandwidth
limitations most people will expect to view the full internet.

Interestingly during the demo of the iPad this week by Steve Jobs
he unwittingly pulled up a web page with
flash content. Immediately there appeared the BBD "blue box of
disappointment" or "plugin required" icon.
So for all the hype iPad, like its baby brother the iPhone, will
not be able to play Flash.......
...which is a Good Thing™.
