OMG, why doesn't iPad support flash?

I know, some browsers can decode flash while surfing, but it's just not the same!!!!! The internet is overflowed with flash. Come on Apple let's use it....

Considering to buy a tablet from another manufacturer!

iOS 5.1.1

Tom, Steve Jobs died well over a year ago, so he doesn't think anything and has nothing to do with it any longer. And Adobe has indeed dropped all development for all their mobile versions of Flash, which on most Android phones proved to be far less than ideal, so unless a phone developer creates their own version, there won't be Flash Player on any smartphone in the future.

Get another tablet. Although adobe no longer supports flash on mobile devices, I am running flash on my nexus 7 running jelly bean 4.2.2 and my samsung galaxy s3 running jelly bean 4.1.2 as we speak. You see adobe kept archives of all android flash on their website, and if you use the last version (the one for Ice cream sandwich [ICS]) it will work flawlessly with the device and its stock browser.

Happy flash browsing.
