Dosen't really bother if it had it or not. All I care about mostly is games. I have a smartphone and laptop for internet.

But the smartphone can't use Flash on the internet, can it? :3

I would love it if the Vita supported Flash! Come on, Sony!

As much as I love Flash, it's slowly starting to lose relevance online. The HTML5 and CSS3 specs, combined with some powerful Javascript, can replicate the most common uses of Flash minus its wicked resource usage and frequent crashing. Sadly, adoption of these new standards has been slow and bumpy thus far, with HTML5 and CSS3 supported on fewer computers than Flash is; but a few years from now, they'll be infinitely more practical platforms to develop web applications with.

I'm not quite sure what Sony hopes to accomplish with Flash support on the Vita. Youtube would seem like the most obvious reason; but it works with HTML5, too, and can even be accessed through a dedicated, browser-less app. Flash games would be designed for a computer keyboard and probably won't recognize the Vita's controls without modifications. And non-interactive animated Flash movies and banner ads alone don't justify the trouble of getting Flash Player onto the system, IMO.
