Really silly request this. I want to sell my daughters ageing 2006 mac book pro and buy her an iPad. I will however be likened to the devil in doing so as her main hobby is associated with something called moshi monsters. A site from what I can make out relys totally on flash - something a machine 5 yrs on (iPad 2) can't handle. Do you know of any way around this? With 50 million registered users worlwide is there an alternative solution for iPad users Thanks.

Had the same "issue" in our house. Ended up selling the ipad1 and getting an Asus transformer. You just have to ask yourself if you really need flash then yes, get something else. if you don't really need flash then buy an ipad.

Will Puffin browser work for you? I'm quite happy with it. But sometimes it crashes under heavy Flash. Check it out with s.o. who has iPad and Puffin installed on it...
 
There is this - http://www.moshimonsters.com/moshiapps on the app store but it isn't the actual game, your best bet would be to look on the developer's website or contact them to see if they plan on releasing a native app. I can't speak from experience but I just can't see a flash based game working that well on a tablet so I would definitely try in store prior to purchasing an alternate device just for that purpose.
