So I have succumbed and bought a second hand samsung tab 2. It has android 4.1.1 though, which apparently means I can't use flash player thereby preventing cbeebies games use and mathletics for ds. Very annoying. I have read some techie sounding solutions to this online but am wondering if there is a simple solution that someone might know??

Could try installing Firefox and an old version of Flash.
Not tried it myself (have an iPad, so not android).

Annoying isn't it .. its to do with the version of android (the old ones were fine with flash).

No idea of a fix but would be interested to know

The BBC site really does need to update though - this isnt a new thing.
