And what about the best enthusiasts' sites simply not having money / time to recode their several-year-old Flash widgets? Don't tell me the DPReview folks (we're speaking of the best and most reputable digital imaging site) are "unintelligent" for not having converted their Flash content to HTML5...

I've tested both links for you for all the Flash-capable browsers.


You'll want to check out the Flash players in strictly the following order (from best to worst):


Photon: most recommended: stereo sound!


iSwifter: mono, no problems


Puffin: mono, minor problems


Finally the non-working ones:


SkyFire, as could easily be predicted, can't play back the audio tracks.


Media2Go has turned out to be useless – as always in my previous tests. It does not support any kind of audio transfer; in this case, the theraa.com/media/ Flash widgets just don't exit the „Buffering” mode (and there's absolutely no audio with the music.cbc.ca player either).

Here are some sites I want to visit that use Flash. Can you let me know if there is an app that will support them?

Puffin Web Browser; http://itunes.apple.com/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?alreadyRedirected=1&m t=8

I'd stay away from Puffin unless Vvelveteen doesn't need stereo audio and the hearable stutters / static noise doesn't annoy him (her?). In this case, it's only the third-best player.

Well, that's not the norm. Earlier today I went to the CanonUSA site with my iPad and try to get details about their printers. You guessed it. Flash! I put down my iPad and used my Mac.


Flash is not dead. However, it is a fact that the IOS devices do not support it and, if it's a requirement for any user, then an iPad/iPod/iPhone is simply the wrong product. No big deal.

Adobe Announces the end of Flash on phones and tablets, and starts with a far-reaching reorganization. Steve Jobs gets it right: Flash is unsuitable for cell phones with touch control.


Years long was the standard for video and Flash games on the web. But the iPad and the iPhone have again created a victim: Adobe stops the mobile version of Flash, dropped the U.s. software maker today know. Though Flash on 99 percent of the PCs (after all, it works with all operating systems), Apple iOS mobile operating software weerde his system because the Flash player consumes too much power and would be unstable. See iPhone and iPad users, therefore a blue box with a question mark on websites that Flash exhibit. That became the symbol of the struggle for the mobile multimedia standard.


Apple seemed with that Flash-blockade in 2007 just as cocky as in 1998, when the iMac was released without a floppy drive. After four years, it seems a fair choice. For manufacturers of Android devices is that perhaps what acid: they sell their devices often still under the pretext that there is Flash the Bill, unlike the Apple gadgets.


HTML5
But web and appontwikkelaars have it in the online world for the say. The blue box on the iPad because they want to bypass and preferably for open standards work, they choose massively for alternatives such as CSS3, JavaScript and HTML5. Apple is not the only manufacturer who saw not Flash. Google made, of the mobile operating system Android, soon a Flashloze version of video site YouTube. Therefore Adobe lost its grip on online video, an area that the hitherto dominated. Flash got the last years also a bad name because there are many that are in. Now Adobe is more focus on HTML5 too, but the company still maintains Flash for advanced applications on the pc. Flash on mobiles, meanwhile, was previously a block so Adobe concludes to the bone than a attractive steel map of the capabilities of the company. Sin to wasting energy to.


Adobes choice to stop Flash for mobiles is a posthumous tribute to Apple founder Steve Jobs. Who had a heart thorough dislike Flash. Jobs in any case had a love-hate relationship with Adobe, which makes essential software for professional Mac users. Adobe waited very long with creating a separate versions for Mac OS X operating system and that put evil blood. Apple went own developing software such as iPhoto. The paste at Jobs strive to all parts of the equipment to keep as much as possible in their own hands – to the closed App Store. Software that worked on all kinds of computers he found not good enough. For that reason he wanted to also not that Adobe software was used to develop apps for iOS operating system. Apple Later pulled partly in that requirement.

1, ever heard of stereo headphones / external speakers?


2, believe me, I know quite a bit about Web browsing and Flash - with these two Web sites, Puffin was only the third best. It only streams audio in mono and with some (not very annoying, but still hearable) distortion.


3, why don't you give these browsers a try yourself to find out which of them is the best, instead of just attacking other people with unfounded "facts"?

"He" is a "she", and her site is hosted by Sony....also, since "she" has become wealthy by writing the most popular books ever (read by both kids and adults the world 'round), and has been single-handedly responsible for getting kids interested in actually reading books again (the real things....she didn't allow those books to be put into an e-reader form until many years after they had been released), I don't think there is any question about her intelligence.


If there is any lack of intelligence here, I do not believe it lies with either JK Rowling nor Sony....

Hi Gail, you brought up a very good point that actually bothers me for years now, about intelligence of JK. Love the movies, however I red her books after quite a few books and movies already came out. Can't shake an impression that first two books and the rest, were written by different people. If you doubt it, look over those books with fresh prospective. I do get the point of author getting to be more experienced, talented and so on, but there is different language, complexity and just style. Millions of people, including me enjoyed those, so no disrespect intended, but pretty sure Sony used someone else to write (or help with writing). Just so you know there is another author in similar situation, who started writing, while unemployed, It took her few years to get printed. She is actually to my opinion way better, less popular though. Her name is Lois McMaster Bujold. As it goes with unemployed writer her books kept writing and not the first book of the cycle was picked up after a while for print. Before she was sending those in separately, while having a few done already and writing more. That also tells me the official story of JK is kind of the set up, or we just do not know something. All that is jmho.

While that is a very interesting conspiracy theory, it has little place in a technical support forum for iPads.
