Flashcards with iPad

Question

I would love to be able to use the flashcards on the iPad. When I try to to that the flashcards don't load. It says that JavaScript is required. I looked for a JavaScript app in the Mac applications store but don't see anything that looks right. Is anyone using flashcards on their iPad? How did you do it???

Answer 1

Java is flash, which is not supported by apple handheld devices.

The only way to make it work is to jailbreak your iPad, you can then install a Flash player. Apple does not support flash on its mobile devices for many reasons, but the main one seems to be that the system architecture didn't appeal to Steve Jobs who deemed it ill-designed, unwieldy, and a memory hog..

Thank you very much for the answer! - fishernc, Jan 19, 2012

Steve Jobs is also the guy who decided that the original Mac shouldn't have a hard drive or a color monitor because no one would ever buy a computer with a cooling fan in it. - KevinB, Jan 19, 2012

Answer 2

If you download a web browser called Puffin, this supports Flash. You get a free trial version for 2 weeks and than it costs a total of £1.99, somis quite affordable.
