I hear you Elizabeth. I too did not know about the “flash player” problem. It’s very disappointing when surfing the web & not being able to open a page because Apple does not allow flash player.Everyone who loves Apple keeps saying that the new method is coming soon. When is soon? I have had this iPad 4 6 months no way to open certain pages yet! Lynn

The problem is that you buy a device to surf the internet and then find out that not all of the internet works on the device.
Now that would even be ok but it turns out that some of the best of the internet(like Hulu) does not work on the device. To me that is Apple’s problem. They made a device that does not work on all the internet and even on many peoples favorite sites.

Some great points there, an app I would suggest is the DISH Network app with sling. Being an employee I am able to watch all of my DVR recordings as well as any live TV programming. Not to mention set timers to record etc. It doesn’t use flash so as long as you have 3G or in a WiFi hotspot then you are set!

Had I realized I would not be able to use Flash, I probably would not have bought the iPad. I was looking for compact portability while on vacation and had planned to do my travel blog AND picture upload. I did not find out about the Flash fiasco Until I tried to download Flash so I could upload my pictures to my blog. I was not a happy camper. While I do now use my iPad everyday and do like it a lot, I am still burned about the Flash thing. I go to a lot of sites where I need Flash. I also do not buy the “open” line. Apple is one of the least “open” companies I can think of. I just wish they would accept the FACT that Flash is all over the web and is an integral part of it and in order yo have “the full” web experience, you need Flash.

It only annoys my SLIGHTLY that the iPhone doesnt have it, and usually there is an app for that.

But I think its funny, the amount of people that complain Apple is frustrating their consumers. I believe that should be reworded to something like… “Im frustrated with Apple so I chose not to be a consumer of Apple products.”

Come-on people, if you dont like it, dont buy it. You know it doesnt support Flash. Wether or not it should is a different story.

Dude if flash needs to be thrown in the scrap heap that’s fine and that’s your opinion, however, it doesn’t change the fact that currently and probably for the forseeable future I can’t watch and see stuff I determine is important. Apple should stop trying to control the world (along with google) and just make products that are not frustrating for their consumers.

Flash is a pile of bug-ridden, memory-leaking, inefficient code (it doesn’t even deserve being called software) that needs to join the ranks of DOS and similar mistakes that should never have seen the light of day in the first place, since there have been much better alternatives available, especially in terms of open source nowadays. How many people still turn a crank on the front of their cars to start them, other than for historical demonstrations of how difficult it is? People need to stop being lemmings, and assert their right to the best software and features available – just say no to Flash and similar worthless drugs being foisted by corporate drones to keep them in the lifestyles to which they have become accustomed.

1.4 million realtors cant use the IPAD for MLS. MLS is an absolute essential Tools for agents. The IPAD is one of the best tools to ever become available for agents. No MLS means not enough of a reason for agents to pay high price. Steve is wrong. in this case 1+1 does not equal 2.

You have a valid point with java and maybe I don’t browse the Internet as much as you do but I don’t find myself “running back to my desktop” “half of the time”. I don’t buy that either.

It would be great if it supported flash but it doesn’t. We can all complain about it but it won’t do anything. It is what it is. Deal with it or don’t buy it… I wouldn’t if I couldn’t use it “half the time”.

alright i am getting very tired of this crap with flash and apple. I have also read the article by steve jobs on the apple site and believe it to be a complete load of crap. he contends that flash is inefficient (so is java) so what, that flash is based on old style technlogies (mouse based) so what it boils down to is that they wanted to deliever the “whole” internet but could not find a way to get their touch screen to interact with a very large percentage of the internet (flash) so they attack that technology.

Ok none of this was a big deal when it was just the iphone because it was still a vast improvment over competing phone technology. but now the ipad tries to compete with tablet pc, albiet a much more portable one. I love my ipad but I am getting really angry that I have to run back to my desktop for the half of the internet it does not work with. Steve Jobs claims that the argument is over open technology, but their operating system for the ipad/iphone is not availible for other manufacturers to put on their mobile devices and sun microsystems still controls java, i do not see the claim of open technology.
