Video : The iPad runs Flash !

on July 9, 2010 – 1:06 amOne Comment

The Apple iPad and other i products such as the iPod touch and iPhone don’t support Flash content simply because Apple thinks Flash obsolete and that HTML5 is the future . But someone has managed to port the Android version of Flash to Jailbroken iPads and here is a video demo which shows Flash movies playing on the iPad.  The project is called Frash and a developer version of the app is out .

Thanks a ton to reader Maulik for his efforts

    It does not play flash movies or video, just flash animation. This was a early release, not meant for the public.
    You can literally watch the battery meter drop when using it – I have already removed it from my Ipad. I truly see why Apple did not allow it – HTML5 is worlds better.

      Worlds better from what?

      HTML5 isn’t even complete, it’s buggy, and at this point pretty useless for anything but video.

      You can’t compare HTML5 to Flash because Flash isn’t on the iDevices. Period.
