IPad might be the future, but without Flash, it could be alienating the present.

Mr. Milian writes: “As long as you don’t watch Web videos using Flash technology, and that’s about 75% of the streamed content online. Apple’s gadgets might be able to live without Web games — iPhone apps are generally more fully featured anyway — but the dearth of video on the iPad is going to hurt. Thanks to a partnership between Apple and Google, YouTube videos can be tapped without Flash on the iPhone and iPad. But everything else—Vimeo, Funny or Die, Break, Hulu—is inaccessible.”
