Apple has given their reason for why they don't support Flash on their mobile platforms. It's half because the management of Apple and the management of Adobe don't like each other and half because a majority of the reported Safari crashes that get reported to them via mac computers occur because of some Flash thing going haywire. Even so, it's a juvenile pissing contest that does nothing but hurt consumers, no matter what the reason. Flash does way more and is far too ubiquitous to be relegated to "competition with iTunes services."
A little part of me dies every time I open up a website and see the little box on my screen, and any chance there was of me buying an iPad disappeared the instant I found out it wouldn't support flash.
