After porting a preliminary release of Flash to the iPhone, the guy behind the untethered Spirit jailbreak (@Comex) for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch has now managed to run "real" Flash content on a jailbroken Apple iPad. Given the name "Frash", this is basically a port of Adobe Flash runtime for Android running on an iPad using a compatibility layer. It looks pretty promising since it's coming from the well known iPhone hacker and it definitely gives many users a sigh of relief knowing that a more solid build of Flash is in progress for the iPad.
The YouTube description of the video explains everything about the port. You can find the description below:
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 at http://github.com/comex/frash – fork it and send a pull request with your patches.
