I have played full episodes through several US broadcasters and publishers' sites, but since skyfire does all the flash server-side and they use their own formats to display video on the device, I don't think I have a good idea of what performance will be like when displaying/decoding flash locally.
I'm using the stock VZW 6.1 ROM. Yes, that's right. Not only am I using stock, I haven't even upgraded to 6.5.  I have no speed issues in daily use, but then nothing I'm doing now would be comparable to flash decoding. Even though I do watch some videos, I mostly do it in WMP which has access to hardware acceleration that nothing else has because of licensing issues. I think I remember that things like tegra might do hardware acceleration for things like flash, but our old qualcomm chipset has no such option.  |
You are very traditional!
I personally love the improvements in Manila 2.5 and WM 6.5.3. But I suspect that full flash would bring the Pro2 to its knees. Well, that will give me an excuse to finally upgrade. Perhaps they will have a 4.3" screen with a full querty keyboard by then. And a 1.5MHZ Snapdragon or Tegra 2 system.
