I plan to sit on the fence until RIM comes out with their PlayBook and see what they offer in terms of features vs. price...

Eye strain is not an issue - just adjust the brightness.
Flash will become less & less important. Some big web site announced today that they were getting rid of their old flash content & moving to html5. The more ipads there are, the more irrelevant flash will become. Remember floppy drives?
Can't speak to the videoconferencing but the video quality I saw this afternoon when I went over to check the iPad 2 out at the Apple store seems fine to me.
Waiting to compare to the Playbook made sense to me before I saw the iPad 2. I was interested in the Playbook because I want a smaller tablet, but this new iPad seems oddly smaller despite being about the same size as the original. Still, you should probably wait & compare.
