We’ve all heard of the unpleasant situation between Adobe and Apple since Steve Job’s explanation of Flash on the iDevices. We knew it was just a matter of time a workaround will be put in place. Apparently, we’ve found how to get Adobe Flash content on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Even after we’d heard it was never going to happen, to the extent that the FTC seemed like they might be stepping in.

Developer Lida Tang from Boston has found a solution for flash on Apple devices. It’s quite ingenious actually, this app is called Cloud Browse and has been available in the App Store for several weeks now with more than 150,000 downloads. Whenever you browse to a website within the app there is actually a third party server that accesses the site and streams the content back to your iDevice. The frame rate is a bit slow but usable and there’s even audio. A premium beta is in the works that will speed up the frame rate but it is reported that it will cost $9.99 monthly. The one site that doesn’t work though is Hulu as they actively block access but most sites work well.



Do you think that you will be getting the app or are you making do just fine without Flash on your iDevice?
