Me: tries to visit a local restaurant’s website via iPhone
Restaurant website: I require Flash. $%^& off.
Me: I just want to know how late you’re open.
Website: Nope

Oh Javascript, is there anything you can’t do?
Emulate Flash…
Serious, I have a plan for Adobe, release an open-source Javascript framework for Flash… No need to have it run as a plugin, just Javascript for the site that it is on…

Couple of thoughts…
What do you do?
When Apple and Adobe fight, standards win. Sing that now to the tune of Particle Man by They Might Be Giants (and forget, like I did, about that hater Triangle Man always winning everything). Like the ubiquitous Particle Man, standards -should- be everywhere. Thanks to iPad, standards may finally begin to find the priority they should have had with every designer all along.

What hasn’t been said already?
I know, no Flash. Bummer.
4:3 aspect ratio. Old fashioned?
There are two clear camps here, those that love, and those that are underwhelmed/hate the device/cry themselves to sleep at night knowing that they won’t be able to watch Hulu on the device.
Would it be nice to see Flash, absolutely. As a dyed in the red HTML/CSS developer; I am not the biggest proponent of Flash, but currently this is a device that doesn’t have the mouse and a keyboard interface that Flash requrires.
It is a tablet.
A tablet that is made to be interacted with fingers.
Here, Hulu, Farmville, and every other major site has the chance to change, and embrace newer web technologies. Or at a minimum embrace iPhone app development.
