I was browsing the other day through my pile of touch tablet news I haven’t wrote anything about yet and come upon a bit of news about Nvidia’s demo of a Tegra 2 prototype tablet running flash games, in their case the Farmville Facebook app. Seeing this work makes you wonder why Apple isn’t doing anything to make the iPad flash compatible as without it they’ll lose a lot of potential customers that use touch tablets for leisure, not work stuff (not that it is possible without a keyboard).

    Even if everybody agrees that Flash is a CPU hog, doesn’t mean it’s not everywhere, it’s cross platform and developers are already used to it. I agree that Adobe must do something about CPU usage, but I don’t think ditching Flash on an entertainment device is something that manufacturers should do. How about you, what’s your take on this?
