I think it's you that's rewriting history.
It wasn't because the iPad lacked flashed that angered people it's because Apple chose to DENY Flash access as well as many of Adobe's products. They where choosing what vendors get to have access to their platform. There is no technical reason to have denied flash. As a matter of fact many iPad folks have jailbroken their iPad to run Flash.
Android is about choice and has always been about choice. The ads that promoted "Flash" is nothing more than a subtle way of saying it's an open platform".
You have proven many times that you speak with little knowledge of what you say. Stating "Flash" is a geek thing is furthest from the truth. Most people with any technical background will tell you Flash is not a satisfactory solution. Primarily because it is over used by the non techies(flash developers) and web consumers who do not understand the limitations of Flash yet demand a working solution. Every techie wants HTML 5 to succeeded.
Again I'll repeat it in case you missed it the first time it was and always has been about CHOICE.
