While flash is common, if the continue to not even allow it to be developed for their devices, I will buy a different device next time. Within reason a tablet is a tablet is a tablet and while I do like my iPad I am no slave to apple so next time it will have to support it or go west.
I also have a heap of media on m y home network but have to jump through silly hoops to get it on the device, and stopping me from getting iTunes brought music (brought on a mobile) off it to back it up or play it on other (non apple) devices is very close to third line forcing IMO.

I'll reiterate. Flash won't be supported by Adobe itself any more. There will be no Flash on websites one day soon. Hopefully sooner than later. Your point about holding Apple to ransom over not supporting it by not buying Apple won't fix your problem - and neither will buying Android instead - because neither will run it in later OS's. It's dead - gone to meet its maker, pinin' for the fjords, nailed to the perch. The holes you speak of will be disappearing as time goes on and web builders leave Flash for HTML5. There are plenty of detractors out there - so here we go...
iTunes - list your tracks on screen. Select those you want. Drag to desktop. Sent to friends. Put on PC device. It works. Have you tried? I've done this and sent a friend or two tracks that were even bought on iTunes - and are "meant" to be DRM protected. Go figure. Very handy though.
