SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenges of obtaining and using Adobe Flash on the iPad. Users confirm that Adobe does not provide a mobile version of Flash, rendering traditional Flash content inaccessible on iPads. Alternatives like Frash exist, which allow limited Flash functionality through a complex installation process, but these are not officially supported by Adobe. Ultimately, the consensus is that the iPad will not support Flash, and users may need to consider other devices, such as the Xoom tablet, for Flash compatibility.
