Flash is supported on the Apple Macintosh product line only but not iphone or iPad and it will never happen. I do not miss flash on the iphone and I will not miss it on the ipad and as others have stated you will have alternatives earlier than later to watch movies etc Netflix is an example.

cheers colin

Yeah I hear you my friend, just look at iTunes and stores you can see how aggressive and exclusive Apple is. Well, I am just a sucker of this cute iPad, what can do

I heard hulu may doing a work around the Flash business to bring it's content to the ipad, (I hope).

You're not pulling our leg?

Sorry about my reaction. I really thought you were joking and probably others around here too! Then I guess I'll have to be the one who tells you.

I thought he was joking too,especially since this was the most commonly cited complaint on the Internet fit the last 2 months. I thought he was just playing it up again.

As a pc user for 20 years, I am very impress by how apple has evolved over the past 15 years. This iPad just totally mesmerizes me. I hope apple will take this flash player thing seriously because without it we are missing a lot on the www.

We are millions to agree with you but Apple wants things done its way and wants Adobe out of it. Apple has always taken pride in the fact that the OS' they make are security tight. So when they saw that Flash leaves users open they went all out to protect systems. But that's the official version. I'm not techy enough to know better...

Flash on iPad won't happen. Just try to deal with that and tell the site owners who'll listen to you to change their sites. :shrug:

Actually apple wants things to be standard. Flash is a proprietary API, and the more of those you throw in the more unstable things become. Notice how everyone now makes browsers that run plugins separately so if they crash you don't lose the browser? That's really for flash, they're just being polite.

There will be a time when we all remember life BH5. (as in before Christ, in this case Before HTML5)

Flash who?

It was from adobe official site. Has someone encountered similar issue like this?
Thanks.

Return the iPad and get Google Android. I can tell from your query that is the 'tech' for you.

The iPad is for the rest of us who do not need or desire Flash as Flash is obsolete Web technology.

Flash is also a common security risk for those who have access to the world wide web.
Most knowledgeable people block Flash in their PC browsers.

I can't wait for the internet world is ran by HTML5.
