Hmm you seem really enthousiast because of it even if you told me a while back that flash sites were not that important on iPad ;-) That's true, they really aren't. I've had my iPad for four months now, and there have only been a handful of times where I wanted to watch a site that had flash content.
But it's a nice to have - I watched a few videos while also kicking back on the couch and watching college basketball. :)
Right now I'm trying to figure out the best way to get ESPN3 on my iPad. There's a service I can pay for, but I'm trying to find other ways.
