I-PAD question?

Ok, I am not IPAD savvy (do not have a iPhone) but I just got me a iPad, and so far love the thing! Easy setup, use, outstanding battery life and fast eccie surfing. However, I am unable to figure out a couple of things and thought my fellow eccies might have some advice. So here goes:

1 . Is there any way to view flash movies, web, etc? There are some porn sites that I cannot utilize on the iPad.

2. If I select eccie chat, the window opens, but I cannot get it to show any chat functions, people currently in chat, etc. Does eccie chat work on the iPad?

Thanks for any feedback, questions, comments.

Hobby on!

An iPad browser compatible with Flash sites was released tonight. The Skyfire browser is a proxy type of service that accesses web sites and converts flash to html5 for the iPad.

The attached is a link to the story with a video demo. Performance looks surprisingly good. I haven't used it myself so I can't provide personal perspective yet. Cost is $4.99.

Steve Jobs feels Flash is not stable enough for Apple products and will NEVER offer it as part of an Apple product. His words. Of course. Quicktime is such a success. Not.

Not supporting Flash does not seem to have hurt them so far. But, it does suck.
