Hey folks!

I'm a fan of flash games....the kind you find on kongregate, armorgames, Ninjakiwi....that require a flash-enabled browser to work. On a mobile device like a smart phone, the browser says that the flash content on those sites isn't optimized for mobile use and doesn't work.

I had heard that a Xoom tablet would do the trick, so I went to a Verizon store to get a demo and....no dice. Same message.

Is there a tablet out there that can use or does use a regular Firefox or Chrome browser and can play flash games? A couple of examples would be "Tyrant" or "Swords and Potions" over at www.kongregate.com. I'd be forever in your debt.

I know that kongregate has their own specific android app, it doesn't have all the games on it (see below comment), only those specifically ported to mobile devices.

The main problem with flash games and tablets/smartphones is the input stuff, just because it uses a mouse and keyboard on a PC doesn't mean that it can read the inputs on a phone/tablet, usually the author has to release a port that detects touch-screen inputs instead of mouse clicks/movements, which is why the flash-game houses are sometimes reluctant to release on mobile platforms (imagine newgrounds requiring every game to have a mobile-enabled port) because of the leg-work involved...
