It goes beyond merely Flash and has more to do with the fact that, like the iPhone, Apple asserts ownership over your device despite you having paid for it.

That, combined with some people in the media heralding the iPad as "the future of computing" and Apple's wild shift with respect to third party frameworks being used in App Store software, I cannot help but suspect that bad things are in store.

The one, over-reaching, undeniable and most awesome feature of the iPad is that it'll get other companies off their fat bandwagon jumping asses and into the tablet market
Except a huge number have already been in the tablet market for some time. Apple is, again, late to the party.
