There's no Flash in Apple's mobile products for 2 reasons:
1) It is in fact a piece of shit, especially on mobile devices. (Apple are actually telling the truth for once)
2) HTML5 and the H.264 codec will oust Flash in the coming years; it'll be the web standard, much like XHTML and CSS are now.
Oh and you're wrong about most people using flash, I don't use it for anything. Yeah I watch YouTube videos, but I'm in the HTML5 beta, no need for Flash…but of course it's only a beta so not all videos are in HTML5 yet, so I will admit I do use it here sometimes…but not by choice. And I don't play flash-based games. Oh and I block all ads, mostly which compromise of Flash.
A lot of other video sites are running HTML5 beta's, like Vimeo, so it won't be long before all major video-sites work on Apple's devices. But seeing as YouTube is usually the first and foremost for videos, you can either use the HTML5 to watch most videos on the iPad or just use the stock YouTube app on the device.
Having said all that, I still think the iPad is a piece of shit on the whole, but I can still see it's place in the market; it'll be something that's used in the kitchen or in the living room by computer-retards, much like my parents who have never used a computer…sad I know.
