Are you sure it has Flash? If it does are you sure it will continue to support Flash?
Haven't you been here under another name?
Yeah, good thing. Another Zune in the making.

Absolutely. Sell your iPad and buy one.
Why? The model in competition with iPad and Android tablets won't support Flash either.
"Good thing windows is releasing a tablet then."
"Windows" isn't releasing a tablet. That's similar to posting "android is releasing a tablet" ot "linux is releasing a tablet".
You had to go an burst his bubble
Shhh...
He's going to buy one and leave us alone.
I wouldn't beg any serious money on that.
I can hope.
Hey guys, have you heard that XBOX made a new music service called XBOX Music?

Back on topic, this thread should have died by now and the fact that it hasn't makes me cross.
I have no particular affinity for Flash but the fact is we are now on the 3rd generation of iPad and my kids still can't play Moshi Monsters or Club Pengiun on my iPad. Nor can they use any of the educational sites their school asks them to work on. To view streaming sports video on many sites, I have to download an app. Guess what, I already have the app I want to use - it's called Safari.
Apple's stance on Flash has been a strong one but the change to HTML based standards just isn't happening fast enough and I still have a crippled web experience on my iPad.
I thought I would revisit Mr Jobs' infamous open letter of 2010 (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/) and, 2 years on, it just doesn't hold up. Some of the points about security, battery life and performance could have easily been overcome with joint partnership. Those Zynga apps burn through the battery and Apple seemed to have done a good job with killing performance themselves by introducing iOS 5.0 on the iPhone 3GS.
The point about 'Touch' is a fallacy, as I see many HTML5 sites that have been built for mouse control in the same way as Flash sites (check out Microsoft's HTML5 site here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/onenote/ which uses the cursor to scroll. Broken on iPad guys). Flash is a cross platform development tool we hear and they're nasty. But witness the rise of cross platform HTML5 dev tools like Sencha. The rise of Android phones has meant cross-platform is a necessity for most developers who can't afford to put all their eggs in the iOS basket.
All this leads to my initial suspicion that banning Flash was simply a commercial decision to stop people playing web based Flash games and download more apps from the App Store instead.
Well, that *****. Obviously nothing is going to change on this which is a shame, I think it's the only mis-step Apple have made in the last few years.
To all those pompous techies who claim 'I don't want Flash on my iPad', bully for you - you obviously don't visit the websites me and my family want to use. And to all you Apple-flamers, I don't want an Android Tablet or a fictional Windows device, I like my iPad and my iPhone. I just want to browse all of the web with them, not just the pages Apple deem technologically acceptable.
Too much to ask?
You seem to be forgetting that it was Adobe's decision last October to cease development of Flash for ALL mobile devices - not just iOS ones.
So regardless of what the initial reason for Apple not allowing Flash on iOS was, it's irrelevant now, as Flash has been discontinued for all mobile devices.
Your kids schools had better hurry up and remake all their Flash only study materials, as going forward, no students will have access to them from tablets and other mobile devices.

They obviously haven't bothered to type "Moshi Monsters" into the AppStore search box then.

Adobe ceased development because iOS continues to be so dominant, especially on tablets (because iPads are awesome) and Apple effectively got their way. I would have done the same as Adobe. They are not a massive company and it would make no commercial sense to keep investing in Flash Mobile when such a large part of the market is prevented from using it.
By the way, I should have added that I never had the need to use Flash on the iPhone, it was only when the iPad came along where I really noticed the difference as I use that much more for browsing.

I'd be delighted for all the educational websites around to stop using Flash. A more interesting discussion is to ask why that isn't happening faster?

Unless I missed something, none of the Moshi apps are the same as the Flash based experience, they are more mini-games and novelties. My kids would be very grateful if you could point me to the right app.
i see, this had been a long discussion!
