Flash on iPad

I just recently heard about a new app (currently free and on the iOS app store) that will allow you to browse and view websites with flash.  It's called iSwifter. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but if you need to occasionally view flash on your iPad this may be a great option for you.

Let us know what you think.

So here it is: iPad 2

So...I did it.  I waited in line with my family for around 5 hours on Friday in front of the Apple Store in our mall. We made an event out of it.  Bought some cheese-cake from the Cheesecake Factory (we had a gift-card lest you think we're wealthy), listened to music, played games, watched movies and relaxed together with our iDevices that we had with us.

Why did I get it? My high school daughter needs a laptop.  So we plan to do a little shifting of the tech in our home.  While I use the new iPad2 (32Gb wifi in black), my wife will begin using the original iPad (16Gb with 3G) as her main computer.  This does incur a learning curve and a little bit of a change of patterns and habits, but she primarily uses a computer just for email, calendar and browsing news and such, which the iPad is perfect for.  I will let you know later how this transition is going.

Why did I get the new one instead of saving a little change with an original model?  Here's a little thinking about my choice:
