How do I get flash player on iPad.

That information is incorrect. If you think it is then please provide some evidence that can backup your statement.

If one has a very good upscaler then it may look close but no it won't be superior. Also HD streaming is not close to blu ray quality, here is where the compression lies. Its perfectly suitable and I prefer it for the convenience but it isn't there yet, just look at the bit-rates.

In terms of Netflix they use variable bit rate so for slower connections you won't be receiving the highest quality, and from the tests I've done it looks to be more compressed than iTunes content

I concur with you.

For me, it may at times come down to whether you can actually notice the difference. But the bottom line MAC OS 9000, (I think), is that the video and the audio usually is and has the potential to be higher with Blu-Ray.

As this has gone a little off topic now, weren't we talking flash and iPads? I'm gonna say goodbye to this.

"BluRay uses lossy H.264 compression. We tested it on our home theater, and it was far inferior to a Feroudja DVD player w/ 1080p upscaler. "

I had to sign up just to reply to this epic fail of a post.

H.264 codec is far superior to the MPEG2 codec used for DVD.

It's also ludicrous to suggest that an upscaled dvd looks better than a blu-ray. For comparison, google "xylon avsforum". It is theoratically impoissble for something upscaled to look better than the same native material at a higher resolution, so I really suggest you get your eyes checked. (seriously)

From what I read at the apple tech support site, they did not include flash for a reason, I don't recall the exact verbiage but it had something to do with flash being the old technology, and

beta ( whatever the **** it was) something being the new technology to replace flash player.

See this -> http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

Instead of being "resigned to just skip over the web sites that require Flash" we should all be holding these web site designers's feet to the fire and demand that they support iOS. We should send them an email requesting they make their web site iOS friendly and remind them that there are now over 200 million of us using iOS and do they really want to ignore that many potential customers?

Why should everyone pander to Apples arrogance, why dont you get on to Apple to support Flash?

Has anyone tried to install flash from Safari on their phones from a video link? The Adobe website states "Thanks for trying to access Flash Player. Unfortunatley it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place. Click to see a wide array of the latest smartphones and tablets that do suppost Adobe's Flash Player."

if the above statement was untrue, im sure Apple would have Adobe remove it, On the other hand if the statement is true, then Apple can do nothing about it. and it then shows that it is Apple simply not liking Flash

Adobe have never managed to get a version of flash player that works on iOS, and they have now given up trying.

only because Apple have made it impossible, as my above post states if this wasnt true Apple would have them remove it, I hope things change now stevie boys not in the driving seat, he seemed to have a lot of personal issues with different companies that we all ended up living with.

Apple worked with Adobe for a year or so and Adobe still couldn't get it to work, so I'm not sure how that was Apple making it impossible. As to it appearing now that Steve Jobs is no longer CEO, then that is very doubtful

They couldnt get it to work with the "restrictions" that apple set, Its like telling someone "yes you can have a driving license, but you have to pass your test in a car with no wheels" impossible.. the info is on their site, and as i said if it wasnt true then the page you are took to when you try and instal flash on an iphone/ipad, which i took a screen shot of in my above post, Im sure Apple would do something to get it removed

As I said, Apple worked with Adobe for a year or so and even with help Adobe still couldn't get it to work on iOS - it would be up to Adobe to get it to work on iOS, not for Apple to change iOS so that it works with flash. Apple's position since then is http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , Adobe's position is 'we've moved on'.

The same "restrictions" that most tablets need to run efficiently;

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/09/15/microsoft_to_jettison_adobe_flash_ with_plug_in_free_browsing_in_windows_8_metro_ie10.html

ie 10 features two modes, just like today, its called compadibility modes, its at the top of ie browser.

in windows 8 you will still have this, except it will also enable switching between desktop mode and mobile mode.

mobile mode will invoke mobile sites and no plugins

press the button you get desktop mode and all plugins

every copy of windows 8 on all devices will have this

flash on windows 8 tablet

demo of tablet

it also runs air apps, flash housed in a desktop wrapper...like the #1 selling game on ios

and of course you can always install chrome or firefox... it is full windows

"The space shuttle is powered by bubble gum" is a fair comparison to your comments about Blu-ray and, no, I'm not joking. Lol
