"...several large media companies, including Time Warner and NBC Universal, told Apple they won't retool their extensive video libraries to accommodate the iPad, arguing that such a reformatting would be expensive and not worth it because Flash dominates the Web."
Score 1 for Flash :-) These two media giants refusing to cater to Apple's controlling ways means they will continue to use Flash for all their video needs. This means that the TV shows and videos published by NBC and Time Warner will not be accessible on the iPad. Poor Apple, just when they thought they had it in the bag! The article, published by the New York Post, goes on the state that media companies are growing more resistant to Apple thanks the a slew of new devices on the way from Dell and HP that will likely include an ACTUAL full web browsing experience (meaning Flash included). Also that Apple should be keeping an eye on the newly announced Google TV, which will let users stream free video content to their HDTVs.
