Flash On Your Jailbroken iPad!

"We just saw Flash 10.1 ported to the iPad demonstrated in video form by Comex, and now you can get in on the action too, as long as your iPad is jailbroken. It's called Frash, and while the plugin is still pretty early and doesn't do video playback yet, you can definitely play games and other animations right now, and we're told video support is forthcoming."
While the ability to have Flash (or more accurately, Frash) on my iPad is very attractive, the jailbreaking process and the necessary mods in and around the file system are less attractive, and can "brick" your system (and "blow up the universe") if you're not careful. Right now I can survive without Flash on my iPad, but that may change depending on the adoption and acceptance of HTML5.
