Here is a good article on why the iPhone (and by implication the
iPad) does not have Flash:

There are a bunch of good reasons to keep Flash off of the iPad.
Both technological and political reasons.  HTML5 may make Flash
irrelevant.  It is fitting that Apple will be the driving force for
the industry to adopt HTML5, just as Apple was the driving force away
from SCSI and floppy drives, and towards using USB and FireWire.
