a couple thoughts... i know a lot of folks wish it had multi-tasking support across the board. i'm in the other camp that finds it unnecessary for this type of device. which leads me to ask the question: "what multitasking would you do on an iPad if you had support for it?"

secondly, with regards to flash, i'm in the camp where i would be LESS likely to buy it if it had flash support. can't stand flash. adobe has gone so far down hill from a major innovator to a company that just complains and bitches if they don't get their way and they constantly blame their own shortfalls on other companies. very very poor...

the writing is on the wall. the web wants to move away from flash. the only way for adobe to save it is to open up flash and make it open source so anyone can code their own flash players. flash is currently the ONLY ubiquitous web protocol that is NOT an open standard. that's a BAD thing. anyway you cut it. HTML 5 is the way to go.
