You could say this is bad news for developers... or good news... if more jobs are created by news sources wanting to court the iPad crowd.

But in the larger scheme, if this trend continues, it could bring a tipping point where major sites start to look for non-proprietary development platforms other than Flash. None too soon for this consumer.
