surface 2 >ipad for college. i love apple but switching apps all the time sucks! and i need java/flash!
there is an app called “Puffin Browser”, you can get flash
I use Puffin, as well as iSwifter. However, those are limited in scope/capability, and are substantially slower than having actual flash on-device.
they forgot to mention some of the on screen keyboard’s functions like how you can quickly choose punctuation marks new on 8.1 and also a full keyboard mode is available with f1~f12 etc.
