Here is the Git repository that is mentioned but not linked to in the article, for anyone interested. http://github.com/comex/frash

Anyone install this and try it out? I'd like to but I think I'll wait for a packaged version.

sjs8• 16 years ago

Maybe they just added it but they do include a link to the github repo at the bottom under "source".

I assume this is a jailbroken iPad, so most iOS users will never know this even exists.

There's just too much cool stuff in the jailbroken world that will never make it to the legitimate side...

zackattack• 16 years ago

what else?

sjs8• 16 years ago

SBSettings (and the Congruence skin), Grooveshark, Fake carrier, RandomRing, MyWi, Backgrounder. Grooveshark is a big one for me since it's the only streaming service we have in Canada.

I could live without any one of them but when I reconsider my jailbreak they all add up to make my phone, well, my phone. I could live without them, but I won't.

Patiently waiting for iOS4 to be jailbroken for the 3GS with the new bootrom. Then I'll be able to cross Backgrounder off the list.

I don't use it, but there's a call recorder which is pretty neat. And My3G, which allows you trick apps into thinking you're on WiFi when you're on 3G. Oh and screen recorders too. Lots of useful stuff.

If Adobe were smart they'd do a big advertising campaign for it heh.

electromagnetic• 16 years ago

Adobe should plaster Facebook and flash-gaming cites with "play this game for free on Android - iPad just can't handle the flash" ads.

I do love Apple products, but they consistently alienate me. Given that the PSP has seemlessly handled Flash for me (with lower processing power) the iPad just looks like a giant clunky text viewer to me.

shalmanese• 16 years ago

Notice he doesn't actually demonstrate playing any of the games. Mainly because it's not immediately obvious how you could do it on a device with no mouse & keyboard.

jim-greer• 16 years ago

Definitely a big issue, but there are quite a few mouse-only Flash games that work well on a touchscreen. We have a mobile version of Kongregate (targeting Android of course): http://m.kongregate.com

windsurfer• 16 years ago

They work great on my N900!

TeHCrAzY• 16 years ago

How does one come about to finding the mobile Kongregate? I use your site quite regularly, and never even considered that there would be a mobile site available.

(Off Topic: Love the highest rated comments system, and your website in general.)

pcestrada• 16 years ago

The iPad can utilize a bluetooth keyboard.

sjs8• 16 years ago

Every game he loaded up required a keyboard. Oops. Oh and there were Flash ads on Newgrounds. Yay?

TED talks, Slideshare, and blip.tv would have made far more compelling demos. Lots of good content trapped in Flash on those sites. Until they move to HTML5 I would use Flash on an iPad for those sites.

necubi• 16 years ago

I can't speak for the others, but TED has HTML5 support and works great on my iPad.

rufo• 16 years ago

Slideshare also has an iPad viewer.

EDIT: Also, blip.tv appears to work just fine.

risotto• 16 years ago

Comedy Central, namely The Daily Show and Colbert Report

I'm just wanting hulu. Hulu+ is a joke.

sjs8• 16 years ago

I want Hulu as well. In Canada our only real choices are iTunes and copyright infringement. I'm not paying $3/show for DRM encumbered video on iTunes, so...

mrmg• 16 years ago

Please let Flash die.
