Since you are the goto guy for all things Apple and Adobe, I thought I would toss this out. What does Apple intend to replace Flash content with for the iPad? Are they cooking up something or is HTML going to do the job.

My guess is Apple isn't planning on anything to "convert" or "support" Flash in any way. Jobs has said (off-the-record) is that Flash is old technology and Apple isn't a company to invest in old technology. Think of the original iMac sans floppy disk.

I think HTML, CSS, JS is plenty enough. We just released a new product feature, the Mobile Site Builder, and while building it, I was amazed at what you can now do in CSS3 since Safari supports it:

There's no reason HTML/CSS/JS can't take the place of Flash. It's open, there's tons of editors that already support the language, and it's great at building out user experiences.
