Commercial suicide perhaps, but given the Apple platforms realiance on "supported" channels from third parties, unfortunately not an unlikely one.

Lots of companies don't like Flash because it's monopolizing web video right now. Open Video might be the answer, and Youtube and several other sites are experimenting with it. It would give a push to Open Video if Apple could support it. I have to think Apple doesn’t want Flash because it’s Adobe.

As you said in your last post, Apple TV is not much of a competitor with stuff like the Popcorn HD movie player, or WD HD TV stuff, and they've just kind of let that be what it is. If they want the iPad to become what the iPod is to mp3 players, they're going to need to make it the best all around and they're not doing that. The no flash thing is certainly going to be a deal breaker just like the fact that Apple doesn't sell their 13" laptops with an "anti-glare" screen option even though most people prefer it over glossy. Apple will be Apple. It's really a shame because they make their products 99% perfect. That all being said, the resolution for the iPad is probably going to be more than enough for what it is, and Apple could still change their mind on the no flash thing some day. I don't think they realize how many people use flash these days. It will be interesting to see what Apple does.

I haven't even dared to try anything at HD levels. It's pretty cool that they integrated the graphics right into the processor, it makes logical sense, it's all processing that does heavy work woof, and needs to be heat sinked. It sounds great, and hopefully it will still keep the power low like the Atom.
