I don't really look for it but I noticed earlier today that ESPN/ESPN360 use Flash. Also most porn sites use Flash and nearly all game sites use Flash (jayisgames.com is one of my top 5 sites). For me, those 3 above limitations make the flash-less web "crippled".

I think EPSN (and porn :) are basically just video. Porn is normally at the cutting edge of tech, so I expect <video> there soon enough and I'd guess EPSN would get it once enough of their users start moaning. So, in the long term, this once again just leaves "games" - something the iOS isn't really suffering a shortage of. I didn't believe it even 6 months ago, but given how many sites I use are now rolling out <video>, I'm coming around to the idea that Flash could be largely irrelevant within a year or two. The only holdout that might cause problems will be the landing page/"entire site as flash" 'designer' nonsense. How quickly those transition to HTML 5 (or a sane end user experience) will be interesting to watch.
