There are only work-arounds (which don't always work), there is no way to get flash player installed on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/


Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

If you have not yet purchased your tablet and you really need Flash (did you really mean version 5?) then I would strongly recommend you look at the Motorola Xoom, second choice would be the Samsung Galaxy tablet, 3rd the BlackBerry. If you decide on the BB make sure to do your research on the email limitations.


Good luck.

apple put restriction to adobe flash player to be installed in ipad, you can see this problem in adobe website

but there are many report saying that you can overcome this issue by jailbreaking your ipad.


some website offers to jailbreak ipad 2 at the cost of $29.99, they will provide you a download link to download an ipad 2 jailbreak software so they will be able to jailbreak your ipad remotely


put this in mind:

if you care so much about warranty from apple company,

then you should not jailbreak your ipad.


us law, doesnt prohibit your ipad to be jailbroken, so its legal to have a jailbroken ipad.
