Can you think of a better way to answer the FAQ "Does it have Flash?"

  Simply not showing an error during the demo... The demo isn't designed to show all that it can't do.

  Yes: don't until you're asked. iPod demos and tech specs pages on Apple's website don't advertise what formats it doesn't play. An iPhone demo wouldn't show dropped calls, at least not if it were easily preventable.

    > Yes: don't until you're asked. I think the question was asked by quite a few people. > iPod demos and tech specs pages on Apple's website don't advertise what formats it doesn't play. Usually a format list is complete, if a format is not there, you know it is not supported. But I do not think that it makes sense for the iPad to list all web technologies, as in, it supports html, css, xhtml, txt, javascript, flash, ... . Flash is not just a format. > An iPhone demo wouldn't show dropped calls, at least not if it were easily preventable. Now this is a tough point. Of course they would not show a misfeauture in the demo. Perhaps they were making a point that missing Flash is not a misfeature after all, and that web pages should be written without a Flash dependency. But in the end, I might be completely wrong and it might have been a slip up after all, I wouldn't know.

      Nobody asked any questions at that demo. A demo is a highlight reel of what your product does, not a list of pros and cons. It's all pro. You can safely assume that a device like that will list Flash as a capability if it has it at this point. If it was on purpose, it almost has to be some sort of dig at Adobe. I can't rationalize that one, but perhaps.
