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.

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.
- mattmaroon 17y agoNobody 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.
