Gear Diary Bummer  Apple Tweaks iPad Page To Reflect... No Flash for You! photoThere was a brief glimmer of hope that the iPad might actually have Flash running on it. Now all hope is gone. Initial ads for the iPad showed it appearing to run Flash in the browser. This raised a host of questions. Were the ads merely mockups? Can the iPad actually run Flash (despite the missing Flash plugins when Jobs demoed the device last week)? Is there something else going on here?

Well it turns out…

There’s no Flash on the iPad and Media Arts Lab, Apple’s advertising agency, is scrambling to tweak the images so they don’t make false advertising claims.

That’s a bummer. Unsurprising but a bummer none-the-less.

Read the whole store over on 9to5mac.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
