[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1216550, member: 24098"] No, apparently you don't. Flash runs fine on my Mac. It's iOS that is (intentionally) limited to non-Flash sites. Because it doesn't run Flash? I would say that if Flash sites are really high on your list, then the iPad probably shouldn't have been in contention for your dollars. I have to wonder, did you not read single review before parting with $500+? Yep. Just for clarity's sake - the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad/2 are all iOS devices. iOS (while technically capable) does not run Flash - and for that matter, it doesn't run any applications unless they were specifically designed for a touch interface. That's the whole reason that the iPad is the first tablet-style computing device that has actually caught on. Tablets have been around for a long time now... they have been, to-date, largely unsuccessful since they have mostly been running desktop OSes and apps shoehorned into a form factor that they weren't designed to run in. I'm sure you'll make someone very happy. I'm certain you'll find a tablet that runs Flash... but I have a feeling you won't enjoy the trade-offs that go with it. [/QUOTE]
