Comex, creator of the  Spirit jailbreak and the Bannerbomb exploit for Nintendo Wii, is working on bringing Flash to the iPad. A new video has been posted showing a few Flash based websites running in MobileSafari, on the iPad. This is something a lot of users of the iPad have said is missing on Apple’s tablet. There is no release date fo this yet, but this could bring a lot more iPad users to the jailbreak community!

Basically, this is a port of Flash for Android devices. The developer is also working on bringing this to iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

Frash is a port of the Adobe Flash runtime for Android to the iPhone, using a compatibility layer, by comex ( http://twitter.com/comex ). Frash can currently run most Flash programs natively in the MobileSafari browser. Frash currently only runs on the iPad, but support for other devices (3GS+ only due to technical restrictions) is planned, as well as support for iOS 4.

A release is planned for when Frash is stable. Developers are welcome to join the effort athttp://github.com/comex/frash – fork it and send a pull request with your patches.

All the websites my 6 year old daughter visits, are completely built in Flash. There are tonnes for kids websites that have all kinds of fun Flash games, that I wish my daughter could play on the iPad. With this new hack, we could see Adobe Flash running on the iPad, very soon.
