Articulate on iPads?

It does not work with the Skyfire browser on iPad either. Skifire will play flash video, but that is it.

I havent tried Frash. It might work, but you need to jailbreak your iPad.

Frash works great for Articulate on the iPad... doesn't do Flash video though so it your course has video in it...
Gabriele is correct we can not ask folks to JB their device... but we can strongly advice the people not by this extremely limited device.
@Ben the Citrix is actually a very smart solution. When you are access content though Citrix it is not really running on your device. It is running on the Citrix box, it's a lot like Go-to-My-PC or any other PC remoting.
I know I am very biased; I am a Flash developer who has been very rudely locked out of a market. But I really do not understand the drive to put eLearning on iPads. Mobile devices? Yes by all means. But there are sooo many more devices out there that readily support our existing tools and more rolling out every day.
I am a pretty tech savvy guy and I could do iOS programming. I chose instead to build Android applications because I believe there is a lot more flexibility and soon a much bigger market. And I think I was right. Take look at the recent sales numbers from Nielsen (http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/?p=25901) In a years time Android has caught up with iOS and for the last six months has been out selling it. Big Time.
"Analyzing the preferences of those who purchased a smartphone in the past six months paints a different picture, however, one in which Android is clearly in the lead with 43 percent of recent acquirers purchasing an Android device, compared to 26 percent for Apple iOS and 20 percent for Blackberry RIM."
I ask again.. why are we so focused on altering our business models and best practices, spending so much time and resources, on a shrinking market?
