BattleAxe: I agree with you, but, see...this is a massive cultural issue. The iPad is a cultural force and Events people, who are always interested in making clients feel that we are cool, and who don't know anything about technology, want iPads to show our work on. They don't care about the issues - they just want it. That is what is happening these days.
This all makes me realize that the REAL reason that Steve Jobs did not want Flash on the iPad is that the iPad platform is NOT a personal computer, not as powerful, and thus, it will likely not work well. So if people try to run Flash, unsuccessfully on the iPad, or badly, it makes the IPAD look bad, not flash. It was a defensive move, really. Jobs wanted the iPad to succeed, and having Flash fail on it a lot could make it look bad, instead of incredible, which is what is happening.
interesting times.
