Flash is getting to be very resource intensive and Jobs is hoping to

a way to support flash unless he wants to limit iPad's utility.

gnash might work for him. I've been using it for several years, as until
recently, Flash wasn't working on my 64 bit architecture (Linux).

I don't believe the iPhone uses flash, either. The iPad is, at its
heart, a bigger iPhone. Must be interesting to iPad to all those sites
incorporating flash videos and see what? A blank white rectangle? :)

My prediction is that a goodly number of iPads will be dropped on the
ground accidently as the leading edgers walk about town and look at
their screens instead of the sidewalk or whatever is in front of them.
You already see some of this with the iPhones, but it is easier to keep
a grip on the iPhone.
