Apple's iPad isn't even out yet and some users are crying foul. According to Wired, Apple's video shows the iPad with Flash support but some users highly doubt the iPad supports flash.
First of all, Steve Jobs did not mention it in his iPad presentation. Most people believe he would have highlighted such a fact since a big complaint about the iPhone is the lack of Flash support. Also, when NYTimes.com appeared in the browser during Steve Jobs' demo of the iPad, it clearly reveald a missing chunk where the Flash content is supposed to be.
"Paul Threatt, a graphic designer at Jackson Walker design group, has filed a complaint to the FTC alleging false advertising. His statement reads:
On the Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices, Apple provides a proprietary web browser named Safari. On these electronic devices, Apple computer does not support the web browser extension commonly referred to as “Flash”. The Adobe Flash extension is a popular browser plug-in that has gained wide popularity due to its ability to easily display video and image based slideshows on the web.
In several advertisements and images representing the apple products in question, Apple has purposefully elected to show these devices correctly displaying content that necessitates the Adobe Flash plug-in. This is not possible on the actual devices, and Apple is very aware of that fact. Despite the controversial lack of support for Adobe Flash on these devices, Apple has elected to depict these correctly utilizing the Flash plug-in. This constitutes willful false advertising and Apple’s advertising practices for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the new iPad should be forcibly changed."
