The iPhone is a bug success, but it's a miniscule drop in the bucket as far as total web browsing goes. Even iPhone owners (and iPad owners in the future) will do most of their browsing on PCs and Laptops. The mobile devices are just for occasional browsing on the go when they're not at their PC or laptop.
So not having Flash isn't going to have much impact on ad revenues of sites, as iPhone/iPad views will be a tiny % of the views they get each day.
For sites that have mobile versions of their website, they can easily adapt and not use flash adds on the mobile site, while keeping them on the full website.
More people will not buy an iPad for lack of flash (people like me that watch a lot of TV shows on Hulu, network sites etc.) than sites will go out of business because of declining ad revenues due to viewers not seeing flash ads on their iPhones/iPads because NO sites will go out of business for that reason.
