*wonders when every tech thread will stop having discussions of flash sprinkled into it*

So far, the lack of flash on the iPad has been an issue only two or three times that I can remember, mostly on Engadget. Everything else has played fine, either via HTML5 video tags, or YouTube/Vimeo embeds that get turned into HTML5 video tags. The days of IE only sites were far worse for me back when I started running Firebird. Even a recent test in Denver of checking restaurant sites for hours and menus was surprising, in that 6 different places I checked in Park Meadows all had working HTML/mobile alternatives.
