How do I get flash player on iPad.

Yes was off my meds, had quit smoking a few days earlier! I had a cackle at that comment though; thought it was very funny how people are so critical. So I have received my Ipad2 64gb without flash, and have to say I absolutely love it! I will still buy an android at some stage soon, if not; to just stick it up you lot. But to compare the two. What a beautiful, handy piece of technology the ipad2 is though! As for those who had to put there two cents worth in. Bite me!

You Don't, thank Apple.

Quite happy to, as they have done a great job, However I don't believe I did. What are you trying to say?

Thank you, mate all info helps.

The fact is that if apple wants to increase it's iPad 2 sale ,then they have to make flash player supporting app. There should not be 2 ways Discussion on that .. People use more of flash than html5. So goes for website developers that makes flash player videos and games.....

Magority uses flash than html5

You have it right there. If Apple want to do that. They have trouble keeping up with demand as it is and $75Bn in the bank so to speak. If you want them to have flash then you have quite a climb ahead of you trying to convince them. The iPads, iPods and iPhones still after all this time don't support it and are flying off the shelves........

Why not? We all have different opinions. Apple have a business model, as do Rolls Royce. They want to sell more cars but won't decrease the price. Each company does business in a way that suits them, not you. You might think it's you, but you are wrong. If there is enough business from people that like the way Apple do it why would they change?

For now, but not necessarily for ever..

Apple don't have to make a flash supporting app. Adobe own flash player and it would be up to them to make a version of flash that works on iOS devices - something which they have failed to do, even when Apple tried to help them for a couple of years or so. And HTML5 is replacing flash - more and more sites are switching to HTML5 or a combination of HTML5 and flash

In terms of sales I don't think that Apple have got anything to worry about judging by the difficulties in being able to buy iPads in the weeks following both versions releases.

Folks, here's the sad truth, according to Engadget:

"After nearly 4 years of the iOS platform, Adobe is still having difficulty being able to get Flash Player on Apple’s mobile platform. Many sided with Adobe on this one a couple of years ago calling this exclusion unreasonable, but the latest failures for Android Honeycomb to deliver decent Flash performance justifies Apple's decision. Even the Frash hacks bogged down the 1st generation iPad and the PlayBook had problems bring Flash to their Blackberry Tablet."

Some months ago, before I really researched this issue, I was determined to "get around Steve Jobs obvious hidden personal and business greed agendas" and run Flash on a tablet. So I bought an ASUS Transformer Tablet just to be able to run flash (a $400 "app")! OK, just a wee bit over the top. But, I can now personally testify to the surprisingly disappointing performance of Flash on Android.

Based on that confirmation, and on numerous reports from those running Flash on jailbroken iPads, either Adobe has lost all of it top notch programmers to Google, Facebook, -- and likely even Apple! -- or it never has been serious about porting Flash to iOS (I suppose this could have been intentional, thinking that the absence of Flash would do serious harm to the platform once folks found out).

But whatever. I am finally over my Flash of "brilliance" and resigned to just skip over the web sites that require Flash, and wait till I am at my iMac or PC to do those that are really necessary. And, despite that the ASUS Tablet does technically run Flash, it does it so poorly that I preferred to use my Mac or PC.

I gave the minty new ASUS Tablet which is otherwise a nicely done, but still "work in progress" (unlike my Android phone) to my med school daughter. She loves it -- and now calls me all the time to talk, usually about how to get stuff to work on it (but any excuse to talk to her is good by me ;-).

Add Flash to increase sales? Are you kidding? Apple sells every single iPad it makes, and none of those units have Flash. In terms of sales, you cannot get any better than that. In the meantime, Apple's competitors, who make devices that use Flash, are cutting prices to increase their sales because no one is buying them. Flash clearly does not appear to be an issue in terms of sales.

Then why is Apple selling 1000 times what the other vendors are selling in the way of tablets?

I think there is something wrong with your your logic. There are a few vociferous people who are making an inordinate amount of noise over Flash when in fact the vast silent majority could care less.

Then you will need to buy a different tablet

Yes, it is that simple. If Flash is that important to you then anything running iOS is not for you.
