>>>Do you know if the the new iPad will support Flash?

No need - Flash for mobile devices is dead. HTML5 replacing it.

HTML 5 is still a few years out from being widely accepted and there are very few development programs available right now. Adobe is working on a major update for Flash’s backbone, AS4 which will make it more friendly to mobile devices. I wouldn’t count Flash out. Adobe is too engrained to be left by the wayside. It is also going to take many years for Flash to be replaced, if it is, which means if you buy a tablet tomorrow, are you really wanting to wait three or more years to view and work with some sites?
