iPhone 4 and iPad get Flash through Frash hack

Here’s a story to make Steve Jobs’ Monday morning; the Apple top-dog’s pet-hate, Flash, is now available for the iPhone 4, iPad, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G thanks to a new hack made possible through the recently released jailbreak.

Frash, as the Flash hack is called, has been compiled from Android Flash code and rammed into the Safari browser by Comex, the coder behind the recent Jailbreakme.com release.

To get hold of Frash, you’ll first have to install the jailbreak, then Open SSH from the Cydia store, and then use Cyberduck to grab a handful of files from an FTP site. The full instructions can be found here.

As ever with jailbreak-enabled installs, there are some reports of hit-and-miss functionality, as well as the obvious risks of installing code not authorised by Apple. Proceed with caution.
