I don't think that Apple is losing customers, because I really don't think that lack of flash is the reason people don't want to get an iPad. That is, I do not suppose that if Apple relented, and added flash back in to the iPad package, they would wind up selling any significant number of additional iPads.

I think nobody can accuse Sonist of being an Apple hater
, and he won't be buying, mostly because of the lack of flash. I myself might have seriously considered it. And there are others. I see them taking a big risk, people will not be happy with the iPod browsing experience on the iPad. And Adobe will not go down easily. Don't expect Flash to disappear just because Apple says so. Even if it does, we are looking at 2-3 years, minimum.
Well, we can argue all day long. May I suggest we come back to this discussion in 3-6 months (when the buying wave of early Apple adopters has subsided) and we will see who is right then.
