faceplant Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I got an iPad last year for my wife and we love it, but as everyone knows it lacks flash player. I'm in some cbs sports and yahoo leagues which require you to refresh the page to get updates rather than the instantaneous updates that the flash player usually gives. I know you need android 2.2 to get flash on a tablet, but I was wondering if any huddlers out there are currently using a tablet with flash player to track stats that are happy (or unhappy) with the one they bought. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9000 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have read that the Kindle Fire supports Flash as well as the Nook. You can probably check it out at Best Buy to see if it would work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9000 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Looks like there is an "app for that" http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cbs-sports-...d391150826?mt=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptyCT Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) While Flash might be important to you in the near-term, it's days are numbered in the mobile space. Adobe no longer supports mobile Flash development (as of 11/9/11). That being said, you're at the mercy of sites like CBS Sports and Yahoo to update their sites using HTML5. Will their sites be updated by next season? Who knows. However, with the rising popularity of the iPad (doesn't support Flash) and other tablets that struggle with Flash, these sites have no choice but to convert or risk losing users to sites like ESPN (who supports real-time fantasy scoring updates on the iPad).

Big Country Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yahoo has a Fantasy Football App that works great on the Ipad. You can not only track stats but can also perform waivers, set lineup, etc. from it. I haven't used the CBS app as I do not have any leagues on CBS, but would assume it has similar functionality.

Square Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 CBS and yahoo both have free apps that work great on my new android phone. I'm sure they'd be fine on a tablet. Didn't want to pay for the MFL one though so I just go to their website no my phone when I need to check a score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) I use the MFL Gameday app for my IPad. It is much easier to hold an Ipad than a laptop or a desktop to see how the scores go during the day. I like the app, but it will never replace the computer as far as setting your lineup or picking up free agents. For Live scoring, the Ipad is the preferred weapon of choice in my house.

LooGie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 android tablet is the only way to go. anyone that says ipad has either a) never used android for longer than 10 seconds is a fanboy apple homer or c) is trolling i dont make blanket statements llike this often, but i can promise you, the benefits of an android tablet (samsung is very good) so far outweigh anything..and i mean ANYTHING apple can, has and will put out makes it a no brainer. I've tested, tried, used, and have customers that use iphones/ipads. my sisters boyfriend sells them, so naturally she thinks they're end all be all. I just let it slide. trust me, you will never be more happy than as an android power user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooGie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Dude, I have been here long enough to know that you most assuredly do. dude, you're an idiot like everyone else! in fact, if i cared, and if i thought you cared enough to do it, i'd have you go back and find my blanket statements. again, i'm quite neither of us care, so i'll just say, "no, u" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just let it slide. trust me, you will never be more happy than as an android power user. I own a EVO 4G and an iPhone 4, and quite frankly, I feel like the iPhone 4 is a more reliable internet device. Granted, a lot of that may have to do with my service providers (AT&T for iPhone and Sprint for Droid), but there just seems to be a lag / bugginess to Droid that I don't care for. There are times when I hit the home button and the browser just crashes so I have to re-open whatever windows I have. And the battery life differences are noticably in Apple's favor as well. I'd be interested to hear more specific advantages to an Android tablet rather than just generic "it's way better than the iPad in every way imaginable" talk. Because at the moment, I'm not sold on Droid > iOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. care to retract? He did not ask about apps, he asked if people are happy with the tablet they bought, and the title of the thread is Tablet Recommendations. God, i'm know i've been away for a long time, but the amount people like to piss at each other, clearly went up, and now clearly outranks the amount people like to read and offer insightful replies. that saddens me. edit: to actually get the quote and first post..just making sure i was right. yup, still right.
