If you missed the keynote or didn’t make it all the way through Steve’s presentation here is a pretty cool “edited” version, to give you the “jist” of the iPad.

What this “Incredible, Beautiful, Amazing” tool didn’t doesn’t won’t support is the Macromedia Adobe Flash player. In an article from Wired Magazine, Jobs is quoted as saying “Adobe is lazy. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5.”

HTML5 handily knocked out Adobe Flash. With 3,891 votes, HTML5 garnered 61% of the polls. Adobe Flash was able to muster 1,779 votes (28%), while 660 said it was a tie (10%). See actual results below:
