RipCode Helps You Play Flash Videos On The iPad

on 04/14/2010, filed in Home > Apple

One of the most common complaints about the iPad (aside from its name) is the lack of Flash. Now a company called RipCode might have an unofficial solution to that, as it has just announced a clientless Flash codec, which allows Flash video play on the iPad. This is done by RipCode’s TransAct Transcoder V6, which transcodes content in the cloud before the content reaches the iPad. Since it’s not an app, it doesn’t even have to go through Apple’s approval process. It’s able to handle video resolutions from QVGA all the way up to 1080p. Formats such as QuickTime, MP4 progressive and MPEG-TS are also supported. Is this going to be everybody’s way of getting Flash to work on the iPad, or do you have a better solution?

Press release.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
