Why does my iPad not support Adobe Flash Player?

No device running iOS has ever supported Adobe Flash, http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/. Additionally Adobe has stopped all development on Adobe Flash for mobile devices as they have stated they cannot get it to work efficiently.

Flash has never supported on iOS devicees - and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.
