Plugin: NextGEN Gallery looks like a great plugin that will do exactly what I need. I am wondering if the main function of the gallery is Flash driven or not. For my site, I need a gallery that will work perfectly on the IPad as well, and so I don't want to use flash.
Using NextGEN Gallery, will I be able to make a simple gallery that will work on the IPad and looks and functions like this one:

No it's not flash-based... just the sideshow is currently based on flash

is there a way to make the slideshow function without flash? using java, php or something?

I don't know about the slideshow function, but when using a lightbox-type viewer and wanting ipad viewing, it comes down to the viewer itself.
http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/ givies a listing of what lightbox viewers do what, maybe this will help.
FWIW, I use Floatbox on my site and have seen it display as it should on iphone (so should also do ipad). My advice from experience is to try a few and see what works best for you.
I also make sure to avoid flash whenever possible (the only reason you won't see a slideshow link, which floatbox does regardless), partly for SEOs, partly for ipad, partly because I find it frustrating to hack anyways.
