The iPad’s lack of support for Adobe Flash video for web pages is a void that everyone hopes will be addressed in the near future because Flash is the backbone for video and animations across cyberspace. (Don't hold your breath.) But all is not lost, even with the absence of Flash. Apple does support an emerging standard for audio and video using Safari — HTML5, among others.
In the meantime, you may be able to open Flash videos on the web on the iPad, using Safari, through a couple of workarounds. Skyfire Labs sells an iPad app that can support Flash on many sites. But Skyfire’s alternative browser is limited to videos; it does not support Flash games or animations.
Meanwhile, the free-to-try iSwifter app from YouWeb promises to address this shortcoming. So along with video, iSwifter’s browser can deliver Flash games. You’ll be encouraged to pay for the iSwifter browser.
Finally, Adobe has announced technology called Adobe Flash Media Server and Adobe Flash Access, which will apparently allow the serving of Flash video content to iPads and iPhones. It sounds like a win-win proposition.
