The one real negative about the iPad and iPhone is that they don’t support Flash, as any iPad and iPhone user knows. I do hope that Apple addresses that problem ASAP. I’ve read that it’s not an easy fix but, hey, it’s Apple. They can do just about anything
You can use Flash on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch using Cloud Browse. The latest issue of Mac|Life has an article on this. But it's still in beta. And Flash expects a mouse, not a touch screen. So we will look forward to the near future when all Flash apps are converted to HTML5. Not to worry. Adobe, the maker of Flash, is busy building tools for HTML5.
The apps more than make up for the lack of Flash.
