r @williamshields yeah, Flash Cookies are pretty evil. And flashblock does NOT block them. http://goo.gl/z9vP

a reason to keep Flash around? How about the world's 1st Jewish hip hop supergroup?!?! 'NUFF SAID! http://goo.gl/AGfx

Although I do admire Apple's chutzpah, Flash is not the 3.5" floppy drive of the iPad. It's kind of a customer hostile political choice.

The whole Flash support debate is awkward; I can't decide who is douchier, Apple or Adobe. Kind of a toss-up, really.

all these "flash is in decline!" stats -- I suspect they're charting users with flashblock installed. Blocking != not installed.

(and for the record I *totally* support the omission of Flash on the iPhone. iPad = larger = no compromises web experience)

John Nack defends flash. I tend to agree; iPad should support Flash, otherwise "real web!" claim is a hollow one http://goo.gl/yJYR

"isn't HTML5 going to fix all this [<video> and <audio>]?" I am not at all optimistic based on what I've read

it is crazy that HTML has <img> but no <video> or <audio>. You want to ban Flash, let's fix *that* first.

Flash objections in a nutshell: if you subtract video (need <video> tag standard) and ads (annoying), what's left?

another thought experiment: netbooks/laptops have a built in "stand" for the display. Where do you "stand" an iPad?

I worry that iPad is going to end up the "hipster fixie bicycle" instead of the next computing paradigm.

Thought experiment: stop using your mouse, and reach out to touch the screen everywhere you would normally click or drag.

it is so profoundly sad that J.D. Salinger will never get to hold an iPad.

Lack of flash support on the iPad saves me the step of installing FlashBlock

Apple totally made the right call by scaling iPhone up rather than scaling OSX down. Smells like the future to me.

while touch is a total win for small mobile, I am not 100% sure it "scales up" that well. Witness the excruciating iWork iPad demo..
