My suggestion:

iPadではFlashのコンテンツが見られないが、そのウェブページのURLを自分へ電子メールで簡単に送れるので、家に帰って普通のパソコンで見ることが出来る。

The official names of "iPad" and "Flash" in Japan are written in English. So I prefer to write them in English.

We use the word コンテンツ often. Even if it's a single content we call it a コンテンツ.

アイパッドには見えない is strange. It means "an iPad cannot see them."

URLを...電子メールを is unnatural. It's confusing about the object of 送る.

I added 簡単に to your sentence because it's said in the English and I think it's an essential information of the sentence.

Many thanks! I guess romaji is preferable to katakana if a name appears mostly in romaji. I am not sure why jp-wiki included the katakana though. In the phrase "email yourself the URLs", I initially thought "to email" may be parsed into "電子メールを送る”, but actually as you pointed out, the object should be URL and 電子メールshould be expressed as the means.

Mookee, I noticed in your translation you took the last two phrases as causal (ので). In the original it's not expressed explicit. When I tried to translate it in Chinese, I noticed that a causal clause does not work, I make it into sequential clause instead. The difference is subtle, but do you think it may work with 送るとor 送ったら?

簡単に disturbs it. Now I understand why you omitted it.

Besides, changing the original to correspond the following translation doesn't seem a good idea.

One of the basic rules of Tatoeba is "Don't try to translate word-for-word", so you need not (or should not) care too much about the litteral consistency.

That's an important insight actually. The scope of "easily" actually spreads to the whole clause and not just the verb, and may be substituted with "just". So 簡単に may not be the right translation after all and my use of 只要 in Chinese was correct. Let's see if I can fix it!
