you have to add an app or additional software to play flash video on the ipad.
I've heard that there are apps called iSwifter and Skyfire that will play flash videos on these but I haven't got round to trying them myself.

Skyfire doesn't support every flash app. I use Splashtop Desktop remote, which remotes into your desktop PC and allows you to control it. This means you can watch Flash stuff on your Ipad (as it is just controlling your PC remotely). Not the same as a truly independent piece of flash supporting app for the Ipad, but it does work properly, though you need your PC on for it to work.
I'm watching the BBC snooker on the Ipad now. Let me know if you need any more info.

Don't have an iPad, but I'm pretty sure Apple has a vendetta with Adobe, the maker of Flash, and that all of the 'i' products are Flash-free, opting instead for HTML5 to provide the meatier visual stuff.
Flash is being killed off. Adobe announced that they were dropping Flash for mobile devices quite recently. It sucks, Flash was the daddy, but developer a$$holes never liked it.
