This is a very valid question a lot of people are asking. Flash apparently takes up a lot of memory, and Apple wants to keep the iPad at optimum speed. Although flash doesn't work on it, YouTube does. Also, Flash was built by Adobe, not Apple. If flash is compatible with iPad or iPhone, people will be able to use Adobe Flash to make applications of iPhone and iPad. If that is the case, people will not need the iPhone SDK to develop applications, and the iPhone SDK works only with mac. Apple is selling more macs simply because people NEED mac to develop apps for iPhone. If flash comes in, then people can make iPhone apps on Windows, and Apple doesn't want that to happen.

However, it is rumoured that Adobe Flash CS5 will support iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, but we can't be sure. Apple is definitely going to do something to keep Adobe out.
