Yeah, well, welcome to the biggest shortcoming of the iPhone, IMO: no Flash.

There are many videos on youtube which have been converted to h.264 (these are mostly newer videos), but there is still a ton which are in Flash, and thus not viewable.

I hope with the impending release of the Flash 10 Beta for the other mobile platforms, Apple will see the light, but I am not holding my breath.

The lack of Flash capability is my only regret in purchasing an iPhone.
