Nope, it's the full ESPN.com site as far as I can tell. The mobile site is very barebones.

I visit it regularly and compared on the laptop and the iPad simultaneously and couldn't find a single difference.

I'm not saying many sites have done it, but ESPN.com works just the same as on the PC for whatever reason.

I know flash is big to you, but for some of us it doesn't much affect our browsing experience. I thought it was more prevalent than it is until I turned on flash block in firefox, as well as surfing on the iPad.

But I do pretty basic web browsing. Mostly a couple news sites, ESPN.com, facebook and a couple forum sites are about it. That and streaming video, but Apps are taking care of that on the iPad, and I prefer apps to having to launch the videos in a web browser as you get right into the video player interface, vs. having to launch it from the websites.

You should find a way to play around with an iPad. I was nearly as skeptical as you before my girlfriend bought one. But it's impressed me a lot more than I ever anticipated.
