Let me start by saying sorry but this Flash method for your iPhone 4 and iPad only work on Jailbroken devices with that being said if you haven’t jailbroken your device yet it only takes about 60 seconds just Click Here.

To Install Frash (Flash for your iDevice) simply follow these directions:
1. Open Cydia > Manage > Sources
2. Edit source and add http://repo.benm.at
3. Search Frash and install it.

I also think its important to note that Frash will not make ALL Flash content work, I’ve heard it only makes 30% of Flash content work but I have no data to back this up but even if that’s the case would you rather have 30% of Flash content work or no Flash at all?

The Android Platform Gets Stronger! Adobe Avidly Creating Apps For Android! FlashTime by Adobe The FaceTime Competitor!

Matt Brandenburg — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:21:01 +0000

Now that they’re no longer buddy-buddy with Apple, Adobe has apparently set its sights on the Android platform by developing a FaceTime-like video-calling program for phones running the Google OS. The new “FlashTime” app is based on Adobe Air 2.5, which is said to be equal to its desktop Flash brethren. Air 2.5 will give the Flash-based app access to the phone’s microphone and video camera, and will be easily portable to other operating systems. Yeah, there are other programs for Android that already do this, but we have a feeling Adobe’s gonna put a little extra spit-shine on this one.
