tablet with flash player?

[charlysmom_dad]

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.

On the I pad, you may be able to download the add on from it's source as well. I do not know.. Apple is a tad Texas Insturments regarding their products.. (TI required all people selling stuff for the TI computers to sell through TI.. Commodore went open source.. TI lost. alas so did commodore)

This is simply not correct. Adobe stopped support for Flash on Android last June and removed it from the Play store last August.

This is good to know. I just want a cheap, I mean inexpensive tablet to use during the few times I need flash. I wanted to use my tablet to do my taxes online, but the irs.org site needed flash.

Flash is dead on mobile.

True. But Flash enabled sites aren't going away any time soon.

Not all Android browsers support flash. The Dolphin browser and the Puffin browser do. Both are free. We use the Dolphin browser on our Nook HDs.
