iSwifter Brings Flash Games To the iPad — Sort Of

itwbennett writes "Peter Smith is blogging about the free iSwifter app, which aims to solve the 'no Flash games on iPads' problem. The app, which is currently available for the iPad and planned for the iPhone and other devices, 'streams Flash games to your iPad. You run the app, which contacts iSwifter servers, which are actually running the Flash. Ideally, the effect is identical to running the app directly from a web page.' Smith tested the app and calls it an 'interesting idea,' but an imperfect solution — at least right now."

Re:JS Flash players

I haven't been paying close attention, so I could be a bit out of date here. As far as I'm aware though, mobile safari doesn't have JIT compilation for JS yet. Without that, anything intensive with javascript will run at a snail's pace.
