I think we are only seeing the beginning here. Apple is pushing the market and positioning itself to dominate it. Once Flash is out of the way and all media is funneled through their stores they will be quite a force, even compared to how they are now. Once the iPad is put to the test by real world users and developers make apps to fill every niche imaginable it will create a niche in itself, regardless if we can see it or not.

I just wish it was closer to my niche, but in time even operating systems as we know them will be obsolete. Apple is taking a lot of heat now but down the road it will pay in huge dividends.
Wait... what?

Just throwing some ideas out there about why Apple is doing what they're doing.

Should probably take into account it was 4am on a Sat night for me when I posted it

Steve Jobs supposedly said something about HTML5 use instead of Flash but that quote hasn't been confirmed.

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.

A difference of opinion among developers has become a high-profile debate over the future of the Web: should programmers continue using Adobe Systems' Flash or embrace newer Web technology instead?

The debate has gone on for years, but last week's debut of Apple's iPad--which like the iPhone doesn't support Flash--turned up the heat. Before that, Adobe had been saying with some restraint that it's happy to bring Flash to the iPhone when Apple gives the go-ahead.

But Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch took the gloves off Tuesday with a blog post that said Apple's reluctance to include Flash on its "magical device" means iPad buyers will effectively see a crippled Web. And he played the Google Nexus One card, too.

"We are now on the verge of delivering Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones with all but one of the top manufacturers," Lynch said, specifically mentioning the Nexus One as one such device and adding that the software also works on tablets, Netbooks, and Net-enabled TVs. "Flash in the browser provides a competitive advantage to these devices because it will enable their customers to browse the whole Web...We are ready to enable Flash in the browser on these devices if and when Apple chooses to allow that for its users, but to date we have not had the required cooperation from Apple to make this happen."

Flash has indeed spread to near-ubiquity on computers, with better than 98 percent penetration, according to Adobe's statistics. Its roots lay with graphical animations, but its success was cemented by providing an easy streaming video mechanism to a Web that had been plagued with obstreperous and incompatible technology from Microsoft, Apple, and Real.

But a collection of new technologies--including a rejuvenated HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) standard used to write Web pages--are aiming to reproduce some of what Flash offers.
