Flash comes to jailbroken iPad thanks to Frash

Posted in Apple by Shane McGlaun on July 5th, 2010

I am sure that there are lots of people out there who are like me and wish their iPad would support Flash video. Steve hates Flash that the chances of that happening officially are nil.

A guy has created a new hack for jailbroken iPads that ports Flash from Android to the iPad. The port works well and allows Flash games and content to run on the iPad using a compatibility layer.

The designer says that a release will be made once Frash is stable. Right now, it only supports the iPad, but the developer hopes to add support for the iPhone and iOS4 later.

Flash will Fade Says:
In the video (follow link) no flash games are actually played. Flash may be great on the iPad or iPhone for watching movies – but most games require keyboard input. Video formats on the web are changing and will continue to change. Adobe Flash will become a niche plugin just like Adobe Shockwave.
