The internet is full of Flash. Try planning a wedding on an iPad. Every freakin' photographer, DJ, caterer, venue, band, etc uses some stupid Flash template website. Yes, I said stupid. Flash websites generally suck, but the way to kill them is by competition, not removing choices. The floppy drive was killed by the CD-R and files bigger than 1.44 megs, not Apple taking away people's options. When people see good HTML5 websites, they'll migrate that direction and Flash will have to adapt or be left behind. But that's our choice, not one that should be made for us.

In addition to the world of weddings, restaurants are notoriously bad for using flash. I can't think of too many industries that would benefit more from having their website available on mobile web devices. Further, in very few instances (save for something like internet radio) is flash actually necessary. The idea that some people want a website that "pops" so badly that they're willing to render it inaccessible to a segment of their potential customers blows me away.
I expect flash to slowly die down. It won't die completely, but I have to imagine if I'm a business owner and somebody hands me an iPhone or an iPad to play around with, the first thing I'm going to check out is how my site looks on it.
