    My wife and daughter both love their iPads.

    I would bet good money against flash. Adobe and Apple will never agree.

    There is an app you can download for the iPad that will allow you to view flash videos, etc.

    When I break down and buy a Sooloos or Olive music server I wlll get an iPad. Being able to remotely select CDs, tracks, create playlists, order selections, etc. by running my finger over the app is definitely worth it.

    That doesn't look like native flash support, it looks like some sort of built-in server-side converter.... with at best mixed reviews....

    I don't think anyone mentioned 'native' flash support...

    For that you'll have to get frash.

    A browser that takes flash videos and converts them to some proprietary format isn't "flash support" in my eyes, sorry. The iPad does not have flash support until Apple and Adobe make it. Even Frash, whihc I have, is terrible and almost useless. 70% of the things I've tried it on don't work on my iPhone4.

    It's not a big deal, but the iPad does not have flash support, and from the way it looks now, won't for a very long time if ever.

    Read what he said again.
    You misread/misinterpreted/refuse to accept reality :)

    No one said there is official support for Flash on iOS. Go bother sjobs for that.

    Fair enough, but he was responding to my saying "there will never be flash on the iPad." And I stand by that statement. None of the apps I've seen are "flash on the iPad." They're workarounds for SOME flash video players, and limited at that.

    My biggest problem with apple is how they advertise vs. what they offer, and what people believe. The iPad is the "ultimate browsing experience"... though it doesn't have Flash or Java support... how is that even possible? It's supposed to be the kindle killer, though it has a hard on the eyes display.

    to me, it is alright at a little of everything and good at nothing.

    I was just giving you what you asked for. I don't own an iPad or care, really.

    To be fair to that point, Kindle is kind of a Kindle killer, since the "Kindle Color" also has a hard-on-the-eyes display. Why someone would buy a kindle but get it with the color screen (rather than e-ink) I will never understand.
