Of course Wired is prepared for Apple’s iPad, says Chris Anderson, the magazine’s editor in chief.

Responding to Tuesday’s piece that Wired‘s digital version won’t work on the iPad, Anderson says the magazine knew all along about Apple’s aversion to Flash and Air, and has a solution.

“Obviously we knew about Apple and Flash from the beginning and there were no surprises there,” he says in an email. “We have a solution and will launch on the iPad according to plan and on schedule, along with Android and Windows — it’s a full cross-platform strategy, which was the idea all along.”

Anderson wouldn’t say what the solution is, but it’s a good one, he claims.
