@twokids;
Apple is one of the only companies who've been able to make money from selling digital content.
They pioneered the model with iTunes - went on to duplicate it with the iPhone, and now they're going to strike gold a third time with the iPad.
They have no interest in providing users with a full experience - because they make their money from taking a percentage from sold applications and multimedia.
To be able to create an environment that's conducive to selling content - they need to artificially regulate the market conditions.
The market conditions need to be _appealing_ to digital content creators - who will have various obligations re. current customer base and brand / image (hence no soft porn).
The market conditions also need to be _technically_ controllable. If flash was available - it would be the equivalent to officially sanctioning jailbroken iPhones and iPad. Any application would be able to run without Apple's permission.
In my opinion, not supporting flash is a business decision.
