How do I get flash player on iPad.

Again, why didn't they develop and deploy Flash with their own in-house, enterprise apps?

Skyfire & Photon browser DO NOT show flash content! if you go onto a site that has flash, the page is converted on an external server to something which will play on iOS and then streamed back to the phone, thats why they are slow and most of the time usually dont work!

and this would have been too much for Adobe to accomplish?

For whatever reasons (likely many of which Steve Jobs mentioned), Adobe has decided that Flash on mobile devices is not worth the effort.

You obviously think Flash could be made as an app, it cant

Why would Adobe want to accomplish that, those browsers DO NOT play flash content on iOS

Your responses would be funny if you weren't so sad...😟

Bottom line is that Flash will disappear for all mobile devices regardless of what you want or think is right or how much you think Apple messed up (by not having Flash).

Web designers will develop for Flash AND html5 or Flash only and lose all mobile device users.

My responses are correct, but feel free to post childish reply's what's wrong have you read about skyfire, and realised it doesn't actually play flash at all?

I personally don't care if it plays Flash or not.

Good luck trying to get Apple to support Flash on iOS when Adobe could not do it and has ended development of Flash for all mobile devices.

I dont either, I have my blackberry playbook and that can browse every website.

but there you go again, Adobe could have done it if apple allowed it, part of the reason Apple didnt want flash on iOS is probably to do with the App store, ie people using flash based apps would mean people werent restricted to the App store and we know Apple like their restrictions.

Now Im not commenting on this thread any more it gives me a headache

"Now Im not commenting on this thread any more..."

There is a merciful god after all.

your so funny Ha Ha

but yes there is! and its called Blackberry

Given the operational and financial problems of RIM (guess that Flash advertising didn't work as well as they thought) you may have the wrong deity.

Go away with your bb and leave us. 🙂

I just bought a shiny new car that dies when I get off the Interstate . . . strange way to build a car.

And (since Adobe has abandoned FAlsh for all mobile devices), now all cars (mobile devices) will die when they get off the interstate (want to use Flash).

You will need to use a truck (computer).

I've read thru many of the posts in this thread...and am surprised at the nature of the responses of those most likely are employed with Apple (those with purple dots, assuming an earlier post was correct on this). They have done very well in explaining solid reasons as to why Flasy Player is not available on the iPad. Where most of themhave failed miserably is in the area of customer service. I'm new to this forum...but won't be returning. their sarcasm, arrogant and mean spirited replies are astonishing. it's doubtful Apple upper management would approve.

Good luck all. I'm signing off to enjoy my new iPad. Excellent product!
