QuickTime Creator Brings Flash and Office To the iPad, By Subscription

New submitter adycarter writes "Steve Perlman, the man responsilbe for QuickTime and WebTV, has recently launched OnLive Desktop which now offers a 'plus' service enabling iPad users to use Flash, Microsoft Office and the ability to use a Gigabit-speed version of Internet Explorer. The service runs on the same basic technology as their game streaming service in that you're using your iPad as client to access a machine located in the cloud."

Thanks

Thanks for ruining my awesome iPad experience. :)

Zombo Com

Ever since I got my iPad I was unable to unlock the full potential of Zombocom because of Flash absence. Now I feel like everything is possible again.

Thank you, OnLive.

Oh no

He subjected the world to QuickTime and WebTV, and now he's trying to bring Office and Internet Explorer to the iPad? What will he do to us next? This monster must be stopped.

People who have an iPad but not a MacBook Air?

That's like stealing from Apple. Are you a thief?

This heresy is not even close to the full Zombocom experience. The audio even stops after a while.
