Many people are infuriated by Apple's ongoing reluctance to integrate Flash web technology into its products – but none more than the software's developer, Flash.
Appearing online in the hours that followed Steve Jobs' iPad reveal last night, a new entry on the Adobe blog reads:
"It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers".
"The Singapore-based indie games publisher Spiral Up Games and Qingdao/Shandong-based (China) indie games developer Aluba Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their hacking adventure "Cyber Manhunt 2: New World" is coming to PC via Steam EA on May 10th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer Tarock Interactive today announced with great delight and happiness that their open-world survival/crafting game "Lost Legions", is now currenly in development for PC." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

It's just apple/steve jobs being stubborn and the consumers are the ones suffering.
Hopefully someone gives him a good hard slap so he wakes up and implements it.
What possible advantage could there be to not allow or even restrict Flash on Apple devices?
edit: good point.

The device is bigger and has more power, so why no flash support? I have a 3 year old nokia internet tablet that's capable of flash(that can be turned on and off) and pretty cheap, so there's no excuses. May as well stick with an iPod touch/iPhone or just buy a netbook. Maybe they'll get it right next year.
With their marketing and encourage all other smartphone producers to advertise their major advantage over the iPhone and iPad. Without Flash, a good chunk of the Internet simply isn't available for use.
