I just picked up a Motorola Xoom, an Android tablet device, which will have Adobe Flash 10.3 support within the next few weeks (if one believes the hype, in any case). I plan on testing it out against our Remedy applications just as soon as that happens (over the air update).
I'll let you all know if it does work... just some first impressions, though... the browsing experience on the Xoom is night-and-day better than Safari on the iPad. Much faster, IMHO, and is more comfortable to use. Enjoy!

Joe, Apple iOS does not support browser flash for either the iPhone, iPod or iPad. Apple reconsidered its position on flash apps targeted for iOS, with the caveat that there be no calls to external functions. “Jailbreaking”, while legal, subjects the iOS device to hackers. If “jailbroken” iOS devices are updated to a later version of IOS, it removes the “jailbreak”, I have never heard of losing 500MB, but then I would never “jailbreak” as it is far too risky to compensate for any perceived benefit, which is likely free apps. The reason for this is likely to prevent Apple’s users from suffering the malware attacks so prevalent on PCs and lately Androids. The Apple iTunes model is structured to protect the brand, as well as the thousands of developers it has attracted. Chas ** So most of us who use these phones know that Apple iPhones (maybe iPads too?) do not support Flash, and most of the new ITSM consoles use Flash. So its obvious that currently, iPhones (and perhaps iPads) are not compatible with these applications.. Do the wireless views use Flash? Has anyone gone down the route of finding a workaround? Running remote desktop on iPads may be a workaround if iPads do not support flash, but that would not quite be an option on iPhones.. As jail breaking iPhones & iPads is currently legal (at least in the US), is there a version of flash available for jail broken devices? If so, once a device is jail broken, is it possible to update that device without loosing anything, when a new version of an iOS is available? I’ve read a few blogs one of which said you may loose about 500 MB of disk space on a phone if you jail break it and then update to a new version of an iOS.. This post is for my information only and does not involve work that I am currently doing. My current customer does not have this as a requirement, but I figured I may be faced with this at some point somewhere..
