A lot of device manufacturers are putting Flash on their devices, which is great news for us Flash folks.
As long as people continue to develop in Flash, iOS will always be missing something. I have an iPhone and an iPad and I thought I wouldn't be missing Flash but I run into sites all the time where I wish iOS did have Flash so I can access the content.
These devices will be able to handle anything we throw at it fairly soon, so the whole "it's too processor intense" just isn't going to hold for very long. Obviously a lot of the sites out there that were built before these devices were out were built with desktop processors in mind and obviously the mobile devices performance will be like viewing the site on a computer from 2004.
Also, I love me a good 'HTML5' (jQuery, CSS, etc) site, probably just as good as a good Flash site. But even iOS devices don't run those fast, if they even run it at all. Slides and fades in HTML5 are super choppy, probably just as choppy if Flash was on iOS.
Please let's get over the whole Flash vs. HTML debate. There will be one and the other for at least another 6 years until some new tech comes out that will make both of these technologies obsolete.
