If the upcoming Android release proves that Adobe has finally come up with a useable implementation of Flash for mobile devices - one that doesn't crash, hog system resources, suck battery life, and actually works well with sites designed for large monitors and k/m input - then I'll agree.

Until then, not only do I do not think the iPad would be better with Flash - I think it could be significantly worse. Find some reviews of the JooJoo to see what I mean.

This stuff is subjective, anyway. I don't usually frequent sites that absolutely require Flash to function on my desktop, so I really don't miss it on the iPhone/iPad either. Obviously your experience is different, and you may end up being happier with one of the jillion other tablet devices we'll be seeing over the next year.

BTW - even if the iPad had Flash, you wouldn't be watching Hulu on it. Hulu has blocked access to basically everything but full browsers running on desktop OSes.
