I wouldn't want to watch TV (or porn) or movies on my iPhone.

But the iPad would be a different story since it has a bigger screen and would be used in place of my laptop for short trips, and I watch TV shows on Hulu or the network websites pretty often when traveling, or watch movies in my Netflix Instant Watch queue. So streaming video would be a big need on any tablet device for me, so Flash is a must.

I do most of my gaming on the 360, but do play some facebook games like Mafia Wars, Pet Society etc. that my girlfriend got me into. And I'd also do that on the tablet while traveling etc.

But yeah, if you're not streaming video online or playing little online games then Flash is no big deal. Streaming video is one of my biggest internet uses (probably third after e-mail and forums) so it's a huge deal to me.

Movies, TV and sports are my top 3 hobbies so video streaming on hulu, network websites, netflix's streaming, ESPN360 for live sports (along with channelsurfing.net and justin.tv etc.) are stuff I use a lot.
