Of course, the iPad will still be limited to viewing dumbed-down version of most major entertainment, arts and sports sites. Those still use Flash for key elements beyond video on their main sites.
Which key elements would those be besides being able to watch the actual video embedded on a website?

I have Flash block installed on my MB and I don't feel I'm using a dumbed down version of websites. The only reason I haven't got rid of the Flash plugin is one website I use for work has flash on a couple pages .
