Flash on the new iPad

**Rene Ritchie** · 03-20-2012, 10:24 AM

How do you prefer to watch Flash content on your new iPad? Do you like it when a site just gives you H.264/HTML5 video instead, like YouTube.com?

Do you prefer if they make dedicated apps, like a lot of the online games make?

Do you use Skyfire or another proxy browser to watch your Flash videos?

What's your preferred method to get your Flash fix on iPad?

I prefer iswifter for flash because it works with eveything i need it for which is mainly sports streaming. it works with games as well but i dont have much experience with it. Splashtop is great also but it uses your home computer for flash so it needs to stay on.

For videos I would prefer if the site just recognizes I am on an IOS device without the need for Skyfire or iSwifter.

For games I like using a dedicated app, seems smoother IMO(probably placebo affect).

I agree with this. I very rarely use Flash sites at all, but for when I have no alternative, I keep iSwifter around, it works with some Flash games in addition to playing videos.

Splashtop or logmein. You need a desktop that stays on. Shame on you if you don't. This ipad wouldn't be nearly as useful without a remote PC app.

What's iSwifter and how does it wok?

I'm using the subscription version of OnLive and noticed that I can watch flash content on the included Internet Explorer 9 (I know, I know...). Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it does work.
