Are there any tablets that have the adobe flash capability? I sent something to someone & he wrote back couldn't open up the video because no tablets have adobe flash capability any longer?
Is this true? Hope not because I finally decided I was going the tablet route. Was looking at an Acer one and a Samnsung one.

Gracie,
Adobe Flash can be loaded on an Android Tablet. Samsung for example. It cannot be loaded on an Apple tablet though there is a quirky way around that. It should also be possible to load it on a Windows 8 tablet but I have not played with those personally.
You might check out Samsung tablets, and also Google's. Both are solid devices.

IOTW - if you have it installed now - Yea, if not to late. (look on the 'underground' boards you may find flash - that you will need to install it manually )

But, I've got little reason to dis-trust Rich.
See our dilemma?
It's off the cliff for us...
Besides, somebody else owns everything we do. Even if they are broke.

All I want is a tablet that I can open attachments that are videos on email;can open videos, games, etc. Is there a way & if so, what do I look for? (don't go too tekky on me, please)

You need to follow the link on a computer - it will then show you how to install the app manually.
here are all the flash apps from adobe - about half way down are the android versions:

Gracie....have you tried going to a store and actually laying your hands on some of these tablets? Just a thought. If you are gonna spend that much money on one it would be good to have played it several to compare.

offlineMemberThat's the plan. I just haven't had time but definitely going to do that. In fact, I think you suggested that to me before (been looking for what to get for a long time). I am definitely a "hands on" type person instead of just buying off the Net without first seeing.
Thanks Dave - what a cool dog.Posted 5 months ago #
