NashtonEven setting aside the observation that many websites have developed flash-free mobile sites, the claim that the iPad won't run flash is only correct when one purposefully chooses to constrain to just Apple's original OEM software.
And the iPad won't play anything related to Flash, a real technology, used by the majority of web sites.
However, when one opens up to just the Apple iTunes Store, there is flash support. For example:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?mt=3D8
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-web-browser-app/id430200224?mt= =3D8
Plus there's also OnLive that was just in the press today, which is a different kind of service model...it provides access to a PC render farm to perform all sorts of heavy lifting and then the screen output is streamed as video to the iPad. This opens up the whole compatibility to Flash (and other codecs) question to be: "Everything That Can Be Run on Windows". Time will tell if it proves as useful as the early reviews are suggesting.
