fyoucher, I give you points for effort but ultimately your list comes down to
1. Ads
2. Ads
3. PornPorn is an easy one, it can (and already has) been replaced with HTML5 video in a lot of cases (I'm relying on word of mouth on this, I'm not a regular iPad porn person. I'm kinda amused at the idea of someone masturbating while holding an iPad:)
As far as banner ads, even on the Android phones that support Flash, you pretty much have to browse with Flash turned off by default (equivalent of click to Flash plugin) or the experience slows down quite a bit. So that sort of kills the whole banner ad thing right there.
You make a good point that it's a problem for businesses that advertise that way, and the standards community will need to come up with a decent solution before Flash really gets replaced. However, I think there will be solutions - YouTube for instance just announced recently they are changing the way they embed movies going forward to accomodate HTML5.
At the end of the day though, I don't see how business' desire to advertise via Flash would be able to drive adoption of Android over iPad. It's a problem that needs to be solved on the business end rather than the consumer end.
