Not on my iPhone and I expect not on the iPad either.

iPad – What a total joke. No “iBooks” outside the US, lacking a real OS, same multi-tasking as a Commodore 64, one minute it has Flash and next it doesn’t, but funniest of all is the name (which is owned by Fujitsu!!).
So much potential, such a shame.
