I voted yes, but I think just like everything else, make it an option. Heck, make it default to off if they want.

While there's plenty of Flash-based stuff I don't care about, I hit two shopping sites on the iPad in the last two days that had major Flash components. I had the choice of pretending not to care, or pulling out the MBP. The 17" monstrosity saved the day...OK, that's an exaggeration, but seriously, the only times I've needed to use it in the last 15 days were for Flash based games I refuse to give up, sites like those two I was shopping at, and to wrestle with adding a backup server and printer to our home wireless setup. EVERYTHING else I've done has been iPad based. Still, it's going to take time for the world to come around fully to HTML5. Meanwhile, there's still a lot programmed for Flash.

I wish there was "an app for that". But I'm not holding out hope.
