Agreed, he doesn't even mention the #1 technical problem that Adobe is trying to solve in Flash Player 10.1, which is still in beta and not in a publicly usable format: CPU usage. If he can't even acknowledge that Flash 10, in it's current production form, requires excessive CPU utilization which would drain the iPad's battery too quickly, he doesn't deserve a read. This whole article is just another business type that doesn't "get it", expecting Apple to support some feature to prop up his dying media company.

Completely agree with you - The number of times a day my Fans scream up to full pitch on my Macintosh has basically dropped to 0 since I installed the Click-to-Flash plugin. I, for one, appreciate having an iPad that is still at 50% Plus battery life at the end of a 10 hour day. (I'm not watching Video NonStop) There were certainly ways that Apple could have brought Flash onto the iPad, but, the author has to acknowledge that two valid reasons _not_ to do it today were: o Flash is Buggy - used to crash my browser/freeze it up all the time. o Flash is a Battery Killer/CPU Hog. Apple could have _worked_ with adobe to fix these problems, but the author needed to recognize they are very real problems with flash today if he wants to have any credibility.
