Until now I hadn't seen any actual admission from Apple that the iPad doesn't support Flash. Sure, Flash was clearly missing when Steve Jobs demoed The New York Times' site on the device Wednesday, but that could have simply been a result of demoing nonfinal software. The shipping version of the iPad could certainly support Flash.
In fact, a video Apple put together even showed Flash working on the same New York Times front page.
It's still not a direct statement that iPad doesn't support Flash, but it sends a pretty clear signal.
