How do I get flash player on iPad.

Possibly due to clever response to my deleted post...don't lose any sleep though I can already see what type of forum this is and I won't be wasting any more of my time with people like that.

Ciao

I can't believe that given the widespread coverage there are still long running threads like this.

What I don't understand is the almost complete absence of desire to solve a problem, in favour of ranting at Apple as the supposed cause, whether it be true or (more usually) not. Never mind the problem - who's to blame? (I'm sure it's not me). 😟

Ah well. Back to the fray.

The name of this forum is "How do I get flash player on iPad"....thus it is a given that EVERYONE else trying to contribute and learn on this form "would like Flash to work on their iPad." That is not a generalization.

My wife loves to play slots and solitare on Facebook (along with milliions of others)...but we discoverd (before buying) they won't work on any iOS device. Thus we left the Apple store without the iPad2 we drove over an hour to buy. Lost sale Apple!!

Apple is an innovator, makes great products (I have an iMac and 2 iPhones and 2 iPods)...but they have put petty differences above serving their customers in the case...plain and simple. Are they admitting their products aren't powerful enough to run flash player when any PC or netbook or android device is?? I don't think so. Can you say "smokescreen"?

Apple get this fixed...Please!

There is a large quantity of non-geeks that use computers and computer-like devices such as the iPad. These individuals likely never even heard the term "Flash" until after they purchsed an iPad and saw the dreaded message.

This isn't a Forum, it is a thread, Apple isn't here, and if you read Mr. Jobs "Thoughts on Flash" posted earlier on this thread (and often in this forum) it isn't going to happen.

The answer is iswifter it's a flash browser where you can go on any flash website and you can go on flash game movies iswifter

I have not even received my ipad2 as yet, it's on its way to me from Honkers. However I did not want to purchase an ipad at all. I was after the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 it was available in HK but only in the Wifi flavour. Not acceptable to me! I want a tab that goes everywhere with the net and me attached. I would have purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia however it has been blocked from sale because Apple is running scared of it.I believe because and I could be wrong, but not by much! It is thinner than the Ipad, It is faster than the Ipad, it is brighter than the ipad, it looks very similar to the ipad, in fact Apple are saying it breaches a number of their patents, so it must be pretty close. It runs the Android Honeycombe 3.1 OS, It plays flash, FLASH, FLASH. Unbelievable, I dont even want the Ipad, but because of Apple who I admit created a good product an amazing product even. Who are now about to lose it! Android will be the Ipad killer or maybe something better may even evolve. But if it resembles an Ipad that hasnt moved with the times with respect to the internet. Does that mean I should not be able to buy that device. Technology will be the saviour of the planet and every move that creates an enhancement or betters a technology should be embraced and not blocked. Shame on Apple for not helping the planet. If your product is so good then let Samsung run free it will fly or fail, But lets never forget it has Flash,FLASH, FLASH. Needed to vent! cant buy a samsung in AUST, But hey I have a 64GB Apple on its way that does not display the internet properly. This alone is a big enough change that should allow the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be sold everywhere un disputed. Cheers! cant wait to get the Ipad2 tech head junkie that loves a new toy.

"However I did not want to purchase an ipad at all"

So it's slower, thicker, doesn't do what you want (play Flash content) and you didn't want it yet you purchased it anyway?

Way to go genius...

Actually, the sale was stopped by Samsung (most likely because they know they violated patents).

"

From Samsung: Apple Inc. filed a complaint with the Federal Court of Australia involving a Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 variant that Samsung Electronics had no plans of selling in Australia. No injunction was issued by the court and the parties in the case reached a mutual agreement which stipulates that the variant in question will not be sold in Australia"

Are you off your meds or something? Or are you tripping out on LSD or something? Because your post is a convoluted, nonsensical flow of jibberish. Get some help.... really.

Yeah...

Troll?

Admit to what? I was agreeing that the poster was crazy. And he's a troll.

Whoopsie! (I'd write "my bad" but that is so cliché these days).

I misread and thought you were the person lkrupp reponded to.

My sincere apologies...

😊

No problem. I didn't really phrase my reply that well.
