Also, is JB and FRASH a genuine solution?

I am deeply saddened by the events that have taken place in your country my heart goes out to you and your friends and hope that non have suffered. In regard to the news I was able to view many videos of the earth quake here in Australia using BBC app plus another 6 news apps I have down loaded with out requirement of flash Have you looked into what is available? as it may help your situation. I am happy to research what would suit you if you want. I have sold my ipad and waiting on ipad 2 hopefully next week but that does not stop me assisting you

Plenty of news apps that streamed videos from there. U could always try out Iswifter, app that played flash video very well and streams sounds from sites. It works pretty well.

Thanks Col for your sympathy and offer of help. Thank you too, Demandarin for your advice. Back in Japan now, thankfully far away from the terrible events up north, which are nevertheless really depressing. Anyhow I now have time to do some research into possible jailbreaking etc. Anyhow, thanks again. Y.

Who else saw that chart....I forgot where it was published on line ? The point being that others are realizing the limits of flash and by next year it won't be an issue but because Jobs stuck by his belief that it was defective it forced change. Sometimes it be that way....seen the thread with people trying to create a mouse for iPad?....... Whaaaaaat? My son just told me he saw a mini type writer keyboard that fits up to the iPad and the stems pop up and touch the iPad screen as you "type"! It's all good. Jeanée
