Again you guys are looking at this from the perspective of...well...a Flash developer: Flash is all important, Flash will be a huge selling point once other tablets (finally) support it.
I think we agree that like I said earlier, people don't look at this from the perspective of "I need this plugin." They only care about content they might be missing out on. So what exactly are they missing out on?
Video? Nope, they can still watch video. And that's a pretty big deal because video makes up a majority of Flash usage, and YouTube something like 60% of that.
Banner ads? Sort of a blessing to be rid of them. All Flash sites (like restaurant sites etc)? This might be occasionally annoying but they are few and far between these days.
Games? First off, it's not like people play serious online games in Flash - we're talking Tetris and Farmville here. And they'll have a much better experience using an app than using Flash.
Outside of that, what's left? Are people dying to go to that marketing site one of us might have worked on that's developed in Flash? This might be hard to admit but the kind of site showcased in the F W A just isn't on the radar of most people.
It seems to me that your average user simply doesn't care about this issue - or if they do, it's not to the level where they are going to dump their iPad for an aPad :) or whatever just because of Flash.
