Why do you think iAd is somehow so different - because I can be forced to watch the ad within the app, instead of out of it? Not an earth-shattering difference to me.

well firstly because I watched the keynote and iAd didnt force you to click on anything to get your app, it was a bar at the bottom that IF clicked on brought up a full screen ad otherwise it just stayed at the bottom out of the way.

IMO, the iPad offers web browsing experience akin to that of the late '90s and the few sites which are agreeing to cater specifically to the format are hoping to exploit a captive market.
But, after the initial excitement, I am not certain it will work in the long run, since advertisers want the biggest bang for their buck, and I doubt iPad subscription rates will maintain the revenue needed to support such splintering of the web world.
Particularly because by the end of the year most mobile platforms will have full Flash support, including hardware acceleration, and there will be much less need for mobile versions of the main sites.

What do you mean not true?(I wasnt stating this as an announced fact by every website in the world that runs flash). Many websites such as netflix or vimeo etc have already added the ability to view the full website on a device that doesnt use flash and apple are selling millions of devices that dont do flash it is MY opinion that soon it will be a non issue as sites will work fine on iPad.
