[OPLINTECH] Android Tablets or IPad 2

[Stephen Cram]

Amy,

We don't offer mobile devices to Patrons, but I've used my Android tablet 
here (Elocity A7) with our WiFi and it opens webpages fine.  I checked and 
it is pre-loaded with Flash 10.1.
Doing a little research, most Android tablets seem to come with Flash 
pre-loaded.
IPads not offering Flash is just another example of the arrogance of Apple.
