Even that is of questionable value when youtube support is built in to the browser.

Flash is stupid, people who use flash.. should be beaten repetitively.

Merry Christmas.

In my experience with the current beta however, it broke Youtube, didn’t work with half the .flv video services out there – and crashed after .5 seconds of a vimeo video. Great concept – but not yet ready.

The main use of flash nowadays is to watch videos (e.g. on youtube), in which case it is just a slow software decoder/scaler. The iPhone can do much better with its dedicated hardware, as is done with the youtube app.

What they should really do is implement enough of flash so that it can automatically get the video data, and then pass that off to the iPhone’s decoding hardware. Or better yet, use HTML 5 video tags. Flash should die!

It dosn’t handle flash animations on websites. It will pickup the youtube clips on sites though…. Not bad…

I was off and on clicking it while distracted. >.<
