IPad does not support Adobe FLASH

One of the disappointing (if unsurprising) part of Apple’s launch of its iPad tablet computer was the absence of Flash, Adobe’s technology for web video and other media.

It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple's DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers.  And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.
If you want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab -- not to mention the millions of other sites on the web -- you'll be out of luck.
