The only reason apple doesn't support flash is not because of hardware/software issues. It's only enjoying its monopoly of iTunes Store. Flash makes it easy to watch videos and listen to mp3 tracks online. Enabling flash on the iPhone/iPad will mean a great deal to the future of flash but a bad business move. You know what?

Flash is everywhere. A majority of desktops have the plugin installed. The mobile browsers [specifically iPhone and iPads] make up such a small part of total browsers. I think HTML will be playing catchup much like it has with the current plugin. HTML 5 has canvas but by the time browsers have adopted it fully there will be Flash v15 which will have awesome features. I feel we Flash developers will always have a job and should not worry.

I personally feel that the current uproar over Flash on the iPad is overblown. Yes, I am a Flex developer and would LOVE if my apps would run on the iPhone/iPad, but the apps I develop are also not targeting users of those platforms. Even Apple itself stated that the iPad isn't meant to replace your computer or your phone -- it is a new category of personal device. In the future, yes we may all be carrying around something like this to replace everything in my laptop bag; but the future isn't here yet. I can also see why Apple is hesitant to allow plug-ins on the iPad's Safari. A good example is scaling. Apple's mobile browsers are designed to be scaled via pinch/zoom and they do an excellent job of it. By default, apps written in Flex don't scale when a user changes the browser's text size (unlike regular Flash apps). Not a big deal and certainly relatively easy to resolve, but it's just one of many things that Apple is likely having to consider. Well said.

I love flash as well and hope it doesn't die. Nice post by the way. I have come across some articles about the ipad and I am a bit skeptical about the it as well.
