Apple themselves have stated that they will never add support for Adobe Flash Player on the iPad or any of it’s other mobile devices. If you were one of the many people upset by this, then you should be happy by what you will read here. A hacker named comex has managed to run Flash on the iPad, and is working on making it available to other iPad users. The Flash installer is named “Frash” 5GBE99275V6D.

Frash is currently in beta. The developer of this program plans on releasing Frash as soon as he manages to get it to be more stable. As of right now Flash can run most Flash programs natively on the iPad. A video of Flash Player on iPad in action can be seen here.

If you are a developer, you can find out how to download and install Frash from here. The libflashplayer.so file is required in order to use the Frash software, so unless you have an Android phone you won’t be able to install it.

New iPhone, or iPhone 4G on iPhone 4.0 won’t support flash

The new iPhone that is launching in June with the iPhone OS 4.0 software won’t support Adobe Flash Player. The photo above is an iPhone 4G prototype that a tech site, Gizmodo bought from someone who stole it from an Apple employee. Apple, Inc. can include Flash Player support in the new iPhone 4G, but they have chosen not to. Why has Apple chosen not to support Flash? We don’t know the exact reason, but reports are saying that it may be because Apple believes Flash Player is buggy.

Apple supports HTML 5, and they expect websites using Flash Player to switch to the new HTML 5 format. YouTube will definitely work because it supports HTML 5, but other sites like Hulu may not work unless they start converting their videos to HTML 5 format. Apple’s competitors, including Palm, and Google will have Flash Player support for their smartphones later this year. If you want Flash Player, I suggest you start looking for another phone. Apple won’t be adding Flash Player support any time soon.

Does the Apple iPad support Flash?

In case you didn’t notice, Apple recently announced the iPad tablet in Yerba Buena. They are still demoing different features on it, but while they loaded the National Geographic website it appeared to have loaded a flash ad. The iPad may support flash! If this is true then that means the iPhone and iPod touch will get flash too since they are also running on the iPhone OS.

You can check out the iPad specs that have been released so far here.

Droid does support Adobe Flash

One important feature that Verizon forgot to include in their Droid Does commercial is that the Droid phone does support Flash while the iPhone doesn’t! Earlier this year, Adobe announced that they will be releasing a mobile version of their Flash Player for Android, Windows Mobile, and the Palm webOS. The iPhone OS was not included in this list.

The Droid will be running Android 2.0 operating system. Flashplayer is expected to be released for the Android OS and other mobile operating systems some time in early 2010. With multi-tasking, Flash, and the most popular carrier, the Droid does stand a pretty good chance at competing with the iPhone. Will it be an iPhone killer? We’ll find out soon enough! The launch date is expected to be some time in early November.
