YouTube?

itags.org · 07-20-2009, 12:47 AM

I tried to search for my favorite VDO in YouTube. It turned out that my favorite VDOs could not be found by searching by YouTube function. Though it worked in Safari, it could not be viewed (it says that I require to install flash or something like that).

Can I get help on this? Does anyone know how to view those VDO?
Thank you.

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.
