I have read a few of the pages but couldn't go through all 23 pages of replies. I am sorry for adding to this thread. Because I came on here hoping for a workaround to Flash on my iPAD2. I did a google search before ending up here and I found these two articles.

Apple relents on Flash-derived iPhone, iPad apps

Jobs: Why Apple banned Flash from the iPhone

Some have posted here saying it was because Adobe has an inferior product but according to this article Apple is relenting. There are still a lot of sites that do use Flash. I hope that Apple does work with them to use FLASH until HTML5 is more widespread. We shall see what happens. But to date Flash still doesn't work and I just updated to ios5. I am one of those that didn't "do my homework" before buying this product. But even if I had done more homework on this device and I did do some. Flash wasn't something I thought about or even suspected I needed to investigate. I assumed from all of the commercials that Apple had when they showed the hand browsing on the internet that I would get the same if not better browsing experience I can on a PC.

Although I have experienced this before, today was the first time I decided to see why I cannot access sites with Adobe Flash and hence that is why I am now posting. I would love to be able to go to Bryant Park (New York) in the summer and sit log on with free WIFI and go to Amazon Prime and view a TV show or Movie for free. As an Amazon Prime subscriber I can access these things at no additional cost. I like that. I was trying to do just that today while at work with not much to do and was quickly reminded that FLASH doesn't work on this device. I don't have money to plop down trying different devices. I bought this one mainly because of my company and it supporting the iPad over other tablets for the time being. They are still testing others. Apple is right they don't need to support it beause so many people are using their devices for so many other things. However, when you go to a website you just assume it will operate the way it does when on a PC or Mac. I will try out some of the workarounds (not jailbreaking) on my iPad2.

I think everyone has the right to express themselves without people beating them up for it. Some of the replies were down right condescending and I don't see the need for the nastiness. Just saying. Be nice people.
