I think the competition will be the videos using H264 from YouTube and Vimeo so that one does not need Flash. I've seen complaints (mainly from Mac users?) about how Flash causes them system problems. I never noticed any Flash attributable issues on Windows.

I am a developer and no longer support Flash, HTML 5 is good stuff.
It really opens up html to server apps and that is the key. Jobs has been talking about "Cloud computing" for quite some time and so have others such as Google's web apps, facebook, iPhone and corporate apps like SalesForce.com etc.
Eventually devices like the iPad, although having small processors, will be very powerful with the backup of these central servers.
The iPad is revolutionary in an extremely vague way because the industry is positioning itself but not quite there yet.
