(German) user views on (next) iPad

[NetworkGuy]

Many users want Flash or USB access - more than want built-in camera, for next version of iPhone.

I doubt very much that we'll see Flash on an iPod, iPhone or iPad. Technically it's completely possible but Apple really don't want it on there and there's an increasingly bitter and personal war of words going on between the two companies.

On the technology front we might well be seeing the death of Flash anyway. There are new standards that can do a lot of what Flash can do without needing Flash.

For example if you've got an iSomething then try the new YouTube site, you can watch videos in your browser without needing to use the special YouTube app.

YouTube has a big interest in caring what visitors (who make its advertising saleable) while there must be thousands of web sites which have Flash on them (local car dealership, as an example) and little incentive to pay for Flash being replaced, at least for now.

With Android becoming available on TV, and most likely on tablets/etc from $300, as well as on many brands of mobile phone, there will be new visitors not using i (with a block on Flash), so the incentive to alter web site content might disappear... Only time will tell.
