An Adobe employee has spent this weekend making silly pictures of iPads.  With Apple's new iPod Touchesque tablet machine released last week crucially without the addition of Flash, Adobe's got a bit upset - but the bit that's caught attention are the actions of Adobe Evangelist Lee Brimelow and his iPad mockup.


In graphical efforts to point out the lack of web content iPads will be able to see, Brimelow's taken internet screen grabs and replaced content with with blue ? boxes instead of Flash games and video.  Whilst illustrative of the 70% of games and 75% of video users won't be able to see, Apple's former iPhone evangelist (brilliant titles) Matt Drance has been quick to point out that a mockup with two blurred smiling ladies and missing video means that Apple's "Resorted to Playing the Porn Card."


They've let out a stern blog post calling the company up on its software failure in which they call it a "broken link."

"It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple's DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers.  And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web."

This means the loss of Hulu and Farmville and other important ways of life.  In response, over on Flickr a user's created a set of screen grabs showing what you'll actually get on a screen grab. As it turns out a lot more.  A crucial quote by user 'jbach' is this:

"It's not about whether or not Flash will run on the iPad or i whatever, but rather about Apples' closed ecosystem vision for the web.  All developers should be concerned."
