I don't see anyone here going crazy.
Just talking about a report. If the report is true it is messed up for sure. If it does contain 100% working Flash that is what is to be expected.
No Flash at launch!

Oh sorry, I was thinking of the Engadget commenters! But I can feel the crazy coming...
And yes, that is what we expect. If it is not there, we expect an explanation.
I tend to not see a bunch of crazy on this forum. But people sure do like to try and make people crazy here by talking about the crazies at Engadget.
But I agree, a flashless Xoom would need to be explained.
They must have had magic XOOMs at the Honeycomb event, because you can clearly see Androinica's flash banner at 2:30.

Ridiculous
No flash No deal. Come on people, this is ridiculous. First no wifi at launch, then requirements for 3G service, now no flash. 800 dollar tablet and you can't watch videos, are you kidding?
Please don't bring up the iPad, I am typing this message on one. We all know the iPad does not support flash. Because of this websites encode their videos with other formats so they will play on the iPad. 95 percent of all websites I visit have excellent video playback because of this. As with our android phones, the same websites use flash when accessed using a different device.
Why the hell is Motorola rushing to market anyway. They seemed totally unconcerned about offering a cheaper wifi version that many want. ridiculous!

Check out this video from Android Central. The rep clearly states Flash 10.1 runs on the XOOM (2:20): YouTube - Motorola Xoom Android tablet hands-on
Edit: Here's another at 1:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYlwo2M9WZ8&feature=related
I think it's safe to say Flash 10.1 will work fine.

It's completely obvious this product has been rushed to market. No 4G? No Flash? If a company wants to find the absolute wrong way to launch a product, all they have to do is look at Verizon and Motorola with the Xoom.

Motorola Xoom won't have Flash support at launch, says Motorola, Verizon | Android Central

LMAO...
Wow this is really turning out to be a pretty bad deal for you first adopters.
Glad I am waiting to see what else is out there in May!
So we will see who the Xoom-fanboys are...
We all know that the Apple-fanboy defense of a flashless system is funny, let's see what comedy gold the Xoom-fanboys give us.

Dude, you're getting really annoying. No need to try to stir something up in these forums.
Anyway, now that this is official from Motorola, I may wait to purchase my XOOM, see the reviews, get some news/updates on it. Motorola is really testing us.
I am a sanity check. I don't want those of us who push android to do better become the same Apple-fanboy drones that we all know are annoying.
So maybe a little pressure to not defend the indefensible is a good thing!

I see what you mean, but I believe people should be able to make up their own mind. Don't label people as fanboys if they buy the XOOM on Thursday. They want the device for certain reasons, and I'm sure they will like their purchase.
You can buy the Xoom and not be a fanboy. What you can't do, in my book, is defend that lack of Xoom, SD, 4G and activation requirement for the $800 pricetag.
The Nook Color is a good tablet for some people, but I would point and laugh at someone who proclaims it is nirvana.
