There really isn't much information about IOS4 for the iPad yet. Besides a estimate release date of in the fall.

But my guess is flash will not be supported, yet.

Flash ? No, it won't EVER be supported. NEVAH. I wish it weren't true, but at this point, Apple would be super hypocrites if they suddenly said, "ah well, ok... we take back everything we've ever said about Flash. Here ya go".

t'aint gunna happen.

Here's why Flash will never be on the "iDevices".

Just for the record: Steve has said repeatedly, in person and in print, that they'd be happy to put Flash on the iDevices -- the minute Adobe comes out with a version of Flash that is stable, fast, and power efficient.

So far, Adobe have been unable to produce such a thing.

Conventional wisdom says that Apple will not put Flash on the devices..for more than enough reasons..you can Google for those..and if things like HTML5 and other open technologies do take off like Apple is hoping it will..then Apple will be vindicated and the Flash issue will be moot..

No, Adobe hasn't been able to produce such a thing. A quick search online will yield results showing poor performance of Flash on the Mac and there is no reason to think that it will perform much better on iOS. The prime reason that extensions like ClickToFlash and FlashBlock exist is for this very reason.

I do agree that there's poor performance on the Mac, but that doesn't mean the don't and haven't produced these products/programs. Maybe they should work together on it...then again, Steve Jobs knows everything. :p

If they have, where is it ;)? I'm all for giving Adobe a chance as I'd love to see a usable version of Flash but until they produce something, the onus is on Adobe to make something happen.

For starters, it seems to run more efficient and less demanding in Windows machines (in my little experience with my new MBP that is).

Besides that, Android 2.2, rooted Android 1.1 and other devices are running it just fine. :D

I'd recommend buying an Android device then if your'e thinking it's necessary to have Flash on a mobile device.
