tablet with flash player?

I have an apple ipad, which works great, but does not support flash player. Does anyone own or have knowledge of an inexpensive tablet that has flash player? Also, with that type of tablet, would I need to buy virus protection? Thanks to all suggestions.
  • You can run the full Flash player on Windows 8, or use Windows 8 with IE10 that has Flash built-in. You can also use Windows RT tablets like the Microsoft Surface that have IE10 with Flash. My wife and I both have Surfaces and they work fine for nearly all content, vs. the iPad or Android tablets where the browsing experience seems more variable across different sites and devices. (That is, some sites work, some don't.)

    Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft.
  • Thanks for the info. We're at an rv park right now that has wifi.The hosts here said that, for some reason, Apple products have a hard time getting connected. We get connected after a long wait, with our ipads, then we get disconnected.
  • Strange that an iPad would have difficulty connecting over other devices.

    Just sounds like a signal strength or shared bandwidth limitation.

    btw...
    Adobe Flash still works with any Android version.
    Been sideloading it on every update thru JellyBean to 4.2
  • WIN 8 Surface tablets may support Flash, but not what I would consider inexpensive by an means. I picked up an Acer 11.6" core2duo Netbook, which is almost as fast as my Asus Core i3 notebook, with WIN 7 home premium installed for about $250. Upgraded to WIN 8 for $14.99. And not only fully supports Flash, but all my existing WIN programs.
