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. |

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.

mac osx is unix and unix can be recompiled to run on arm (other flavors of unix has been done before). just takes work. android is linux and has been stripped down and recompiled to run on practically every processor out there (android phones are arm processors too). mac osx just needs to strip out all that excessive crap to turn it into an embedded os... again, just takes work... nothing new, nothing revolutionary, just lots of work... apple is just trying to rush to the market with the first embedded touch tablet... however, the competition is running neck to neck for its launch date so they haven't stolen all the thunder quite yet... |

I guess time will tell and we'll all be able to
to determine just how bogus Apple's decision is not to use Mac Osx /Unix.
