Adobe for Ipad

Should I just keep jumping through hoops for no reason other than to make apple money?

No. You should sell your iPad and find a device that does what you want.

Oh, he had achieved troll status well before that. . .

Yeah, U-Tube has an I-phone app too but it doesn't work with 80% of the material because it doesn't support flash!!!!!!!!!! These devices are virtually useless right now. I don't understand why people buy them. I have a brand new 32g I-pad that I would sell for 2/3 the price I paid for it. Less than 2 hours use. Any offers? Yeah, I thought so. It isn't worth 1/2 what he is charging for these things.

U-tube?
I have no problem playing anything from Youtube.

and yet, you still purchased one...

How could anyone respond +in the middle+ of your post?
I'd pay 2/3 the price for one but I wouldn't purchase from you for one quarter the price.

A pile of silly b.s., from beginning to end. Tell you what, my boy; put your new iPad up for sale on the Seattle craigslist at that ridiculous price, then just move your dusty butt out of the way. If nobody buys it in three days then I will. Mention Flash in your text so I'll know it's you.

So 80% of YouTube is missing because of lack of Flash? And you calculated that just how, again? Oh, never mind ....

My, my, how fortunate I am, then, that my last submission is still available here on the iPad app and I'm in the top 20%! I was really surprised to discover that, especially seeing as how it's 2+45 of fairly crappy indoor video of my daughter's cat, shot on a Nano, posted up in May of last year and had, I think, 109 views. Or maybe 110 now!

Looking forward to seeing your ad in CL and I'm glad you're doing this and that I ran across it in time. The other, slightly brighter bulbs in the pack would have probably figured out they'd do way better by just taking their unit back to Apple ...

*according to your one other post, you did no research prior to spending your hard earned money.* You know how to register and post on forums such as these so I dont figure that your completly computer illiterate, please do your homework, then you wont be surprised after your next purchase.

I've yet to come across a Youtube that doesn't play in the Youtube app. Maybe you're doing something wrong.

If you just bought the iPad, return it for a refund since you obviously didn't do any research before you bought it. I hear that Walgreens is selling a tablet for $99 🙂.

If you've never had a problem with a Youtube video, then you can't have been looking (or trying to look) at many on the main site!
The videos are fine in the iPad app, but the number of actual videos on there is very small in comparison.

The situation is improving all the time, but we're not there yet!

Doesn't help that Google just baked Flash right into their new chrome browser, which they are pushing really hard for mobile, and desktop use.

Also doesn't help that they just dropped h.264 video support for the html5 spec coming out in the next 5 years, in favor of a more open format also supported by firefox.

Two things Apple is fighting against, Google recently made best friends with. And the things Apple are supporting Google has now dropped.

Two years ago (or so) YouTube finished converting all of the videos on their site to h.264. So I don't see the problem with playing YouTube videos on the iPad. I've never have gotten you need flash to play this video in either the YouTube app or Safari. The only way you can have a problem playing a video if the person who posted the video flagged the video not to play on a mobile device. This flag can be set in the video settings. I have posted a video a few times music videos and YouTube has set this flag not to play on a mobile device because of copyrighted material in the video. YouTube can a does flag videos only to play in certain countries.

Bottom line... There is a reason why a video doesn't play on the iPad and only YouTube can answer that question. As for searching for video... never had a problem with searches.

You might want to read the above to get your facts straight. The are proposing a "Flash-like" plugin for WebM, which is open source and what is used in Chrome. Or, yet another challenge to Flash. So I guess you should have stated it was 2 things Adobe is fighting against.

Again, didn't you return your iPad?

David, all I am saying is
1) on the main site - www.youtube.com - there are more videos than there are available on the iPad app. This can easily be highlighted if you search for something fairly obscure and compare the number of hits. It's not really possible with popular searches as the iPad app doesn't say how many hits there are, and wading through dozens and dozens of pages obviously isn't practical.
2) on the iPad, using a browser like iCab or Atomic, which can identify themselves as desktop rather than mobile, there are problems viewing (some) videos on Youtube because of Flash.
