Jobs refused to support both Flash and Java because he felt that they were both too memory and processor intensive and would make the IPad look bad when running them. I have to admit the the application I have the most trouble with when browsing with my PC is Flash, and any app that wants to update itself almost daily for security fixes isn't exactly a favorite of mine. I could really care less about Flash availability as I seldom use sites that really rely heavily on it, on the other hand I would have really liked to have Java support as it would have made the IPad far more business friendly.
