I've heard one other reason that stated that Flash was the #1 cause of all Safari crashes (on Macs).

Since I just bought an iPad, I was a little concerned about not having Flash support, but then we got to talking about it with some colleagues and I realized that I hope the lack of Apple support for it will encourage websites to stop being so Flash-heavy! Flash is fun and pretty but for a regular web site, it just doesn't make sense. The content isn't searchable; it's not bookmarkable or linkable. And Flash pages can take so long to load and to navigate. I feel like I'm channeling Eric S Raymond a little, but I just don't ink Flash is the direction web design should be headed, and i'm glad that Apple might help slow down that trend.
