The iPad doesn't support Flash and plenty of less-than-technophiles use it as an everything computer.

What does the "don't have flash" stub look like? Does the ipad recognize embedded flash and show a friendly explanation or is that left to the site?

It's left to the site to detect the missing plugin.

If the site doesn't have a helpful explanation, there is a blue lego piece with a question mark on it. I cant remember if there is anything else.
