Flash is a third party program. It is not available on a full version for any system other than FUll Mac OS or WIndows installations.

Flash missing from the iPhone is a total and complete non-issue because no other handset has it either.

Flash missing from the iPad is equally a non-issue because there are no other tablet products available that compare to the iPad. No one is going to buy a nettop instead of an iPad. They're not at all comparable. It's like saying I'm going to buy a a nettop instead of a phone. A nettop is just a cheap (as in quality) notebook. People haven't been buying them instead of Mac notebooks either.
