Scratch

Cloud browse works pretty well except for it's increasing price and it's 15 minute limit.

i believe a jailbroken ipad can run frash.

also, if you are going to jailbreak it, get ikeyex and then get the 5 row qwerty keyboard.
under the number pad side, there's arrow keys.

I also have an iPad 2.

The problem with flash-supported apps is that obviously, Apple restrics them. Therefor, the only way to get around it (other than jailbreaking) would be to run a remote desktop app.

If you get an app like Splashtop (RDC), you can control your desktop or laptop from your iPad and therefor use the flash player. HOWEVER, since Scratch isn't compatible with iPad's special capabilities like the gyroscope, you can only interact with projects that you click.

Apple will never allow Flash but Scratch might eventually be transferred into an Objective C application and resubmitted to the App Store.

It has been, but that was removed.

I understand. But if it were resubmitted after the questionable content Apple removed it for was taken away, they would accept it.

This looks intriguing...they do an end run around Apple's restrictions by running the app on a cloud server and piping the video back to the mobile device.  But the reviews are very mixed at the moment...sounds pretty buggy.  Maybe I'll let it settle out a bit.  But thanks for the lead

What's with the 15 minute time limit? 

As for jailbreaking - I'm not that eager to open up the hood and get my hands dirty yet 

Thanks to everybody that chipped in here though - I appreciate it.

Jailbreaking FTW, bro.
Oh, and iSwifter isn't bad.

I would help, but I don't have any iDevices. Should I get Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional from Adobe for XMAS or an iPhone/iPod?

I don't think iPads have flash.

I might be getting an iPad for school soon. i will definitely get one next year (all of the 9th and 10th graders have them, and I am in 8th), but I am in accelerated math with 9th and 10th graders so I am the only one in my class (of 6, don't tell my school that XD) who doesn't have an iPad. However, this weekend we were in possession of my mom's "Company" iPad. (She's a preschool teacher at my school, and the lower grades seem to share an iPad, which is weird because nobody would (well, nobody SHOULD) trust preschoolers with an iPad)

Also, @Stevetheipad: It wasn't removed for questionable content, it was removed for "Its ability to interpret and execute code," which is a violation of the App Store's policy.

There are many people who think that tablets will replace PC's in general. (Note here that I am not saying they will replace WINDOWS, I get SUPER ANNOYED when people say "Macs are so much better than PC's" because that is physically impossible, I use PC as it really means, Personal Computer) I definitely feel that this is the future, although not in its current state.

First, it would involve an OS designed for both PC and tablet use. This is because many people, especially gamers, will not give up their keyboard when a laptop WITH a keyboard is hardly bigger than a tablet WITHOUT it, not to mention how much easier it is to actually type anything longer than a text message or tweet, good luck writing a book with that touch screen. The compatibility with gamers is purely to keep them a valuable, money spending customer. If they can't play games like on a PC, they won't switch. Tablets can create amazing games by utilizing their touch screen and motion sensors, but completely break anything using a keyboard and mouse.

Second, it would need an app universe just as diverse as the one for windows/linux is now. That means NO random app policing. Clearly an app police system is important to prevent duplicates, spam, malware, and copyright infringing/illegal software. Also either abolishing or reducing the price for app development, in order to allow some people to make programs completely free. Another idea: Allow a simple programming language that can't do deep damage for free, then more powerful languages for trusted developers.

Third, it cannot be completely closed. I love the idea of a tablet. I love the style of the macbook air. Apple is great with aesthetics. But inside, I don't get that same feeling. Apple's OS and SDKs are shut up in a bunker. It's like I'm watching my screen through a screen. I don't feel that I can customize it.If Apple wasn't so afraid of someone ruining their own device, they wouldn't need to jailbreak it (which can cause even more problems). I have no problem with commercial software being closed source. Let's face it, open sourced tablets will probably never truly replace traditional PCs. While they are much more customizable, and Ubuntu has shown that you can break free of commercial software without needing to be a computer expert fluent in Assembly Language, they still fail to gain mainstream attention because they do not make advertisements. Therefore, they are only available to those who look for it.
If we could get open source software everywhere, it would be great. But realistically, it will probably come from some company that is already a major influence, whether that is Microsoft or Android or even Google (now that Google has created the ChromeBook, thus entering it into the software industry), whoever re-revolutionizes computing will probably already have some respect in the industry.

Also, P2S, if this belong in its own topic, I can change it.

Forget submitting to the App Store! Just post it on Cydia. Any jailbroken iDevice can download and use iScratch!

iScratch? Tell me more. I may revert to 4.3.3 for this.

Oh, and for flash: Jailbreak it and then download Frash.

iScratch is just a name idea for the app.
