Subject: Re: Semi-OT: Apple iPad
I have a wifi only iPad. Standard it uses Safari
to read pdfs
directly from the web. You can buy pdf reader apps though.
How much do you have to pay for a 3rd party PDF reader app for the iPad?
If Apple would allow flash then they would have a free PDF reader from
Adobe I would think.
I haven't paid anything myself for a PDF reader as the iPad Safari is
adequate for my use, but pretty much featureless for a PDF reader and a web
browser. I did $0.99 for a replacement web browser. But most apps range
from $0.99 to about $4.99.
I'd be surprised if there is ever a Flash for the iPhone/iPod/iPad. Adobe
supposedly has technical problems and the platform itself is just not
powerful enough for a resource intensive app like Flash. Personally I hate
Flash myself, other then for playing videos. And Steve Jobs doesn't seem
to like it either. ;-)
