If it isn't the first ready one with WebKit please tell it to me.
What about flash video sites like Youtube?
Does it play these videos?
There is not enogth RAM on my device and youtube is shown in mobile design, because of the big data packages, but it seems that it can play the vidoes from mobile design, if there is much RAM.
Other sides like google and ebay are in the normal design like on a computer.
yesterday i downloaded a skyfire version for my brother's n95.the only thing i have to say is tha is by far the best browser i have seen.i tried opening pages that i couldn't open before with the old browser because of the missing plugin and it worked.
here is the prog's description.
"Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile browser that gives you a web browsing experience exactly like PC browsing. For the first time ever, on your phone, you can watch any video, connect with friends, listen to music, shop, and browse the web using the full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. With Skyfire, mobile browsing just works - speedy page loads, full video, images and audio.
The search feature is awesome.

yes skyfire has released an updated version that loads on the wvga devices how ever it is not wvga and still looks bad on our hd... but hey its a start
thanks for your help guys.this program is indeed a good start.not beeing able to browse websites with flash content was a big drawback
Does anyone know how I can get Java to work on the HD? I use the bbc website alot and they will not allow me to stream the news videos or audio.
Also which browser does everyone suggest?
Thanks
For streaming I would reccommend skyfire browser. Just go to m.skyfire.com from your mobile browser to download.
Hi,
First off, I have done my research! I promised... looked through the posts (Wiki page/Tips & Tricks..) and can't seems to find anything pertaining to this.
What I'd like to know is:
- Is there a way to view YouTube video embedded in a webpage (Web Browsing using Opera Browser that comes with my HD2) by using the inbuilt HTC YouTube app - Eg. tap on the YouTube video on a webpage, HTC YouTube app starting automatically to play the video.
Thanks in advance!
Douglas
Ps. HD2 ROCKS!!!
Hi
As far as i Know (my HD2 is on its way and my HD on Ebay ) the opera doesn't have a flash support yet but the IE mobile browser on HD2 does have flash embedded which means that you get a flash player startet by tapping on your video
I've seen that also on a review on youtube....
Cheers,
LEE
Thanks for your prompt reply.

Hi... Did u have to install anything other than Opera 10 B2? As I'd just tried it out, and YouTube content on the webpage just shows a place holder with text showing "Plug In Content"... Did I do something wrong..?
As far as I'm aware, the only browser which allows this is Skyfire. I use that for video and Opera for all other browsing (as Skyfire is a bit pants really).

Check out that thread. If you follow all the steps, you can also watch youtube and other flash sites in Opera.
It's also possible with IE and Skyfire.
I would prefer when browsing youtube, that it would open the youtube application, which gives better quality and speed.
The only way I've found for the youtube app to work is to stream from m.youtube.com with opera.
That's the only way I've got it to work its not the best as I hate the layout of mobile youtube but it works, like you, the youtube site on opera doesn't show any clickable links or videos for the hd2's youtube client to work with.
Well yes, I meant on m.YouTube.com, and other mobile sites. On a mobile after all.

And with Opera 10 final?
Tks!
youtube works on Opera 10 without need for m,
Are you sure?
My Opera Mobile 10 doesn't stream youtube, mobile or desktop version.
Having a look to Opera's and other forums, it can't stream youtube...
Mine does, search around this forum for /TX Opera Mobile10 With Flash /in the settings enable Plugins.
but it does stream youtube through the streaming media player instead of the youtube player and the quality is quite decreased....
If it streams via any external player it's ok for me, it is important that it doesn't play in browser, because quality is worst...
It's exactly what I'm searching for, mine actually plays in browser or doesn't play, so, how to make it play in streaming player or youtube or core player?
The latest version of Opera will stream youtube video and depending upon your connection it is either good or bad.......
Are you sure?
My Opera Mobile streams no video...
Hey guys, I wanna know if i can play youtube videos in the youtube app after i click on a video on the browser..Like the Ipod.
Basically when i click on the youtube video/link in the Internet browser (Opera) how can i make the video play in youtube app automatically without viewing it on the web browser itself...
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks.
bump....any help ?
2 ways... 1.... make IE your default browser and it will load the mobile version of the youtube site. When you click the video, it will open the youtube app to play or option 2.... Click the link, into opera you go... Change tjhe youtube link that is loaded by adding an "m" in front of youtube. So it should read... www.m.youtube.com.(remainder of the provided link) then it will properly load the mobile youtube link. Click the video and the youtube app will launch.
Cool it worked...Thanks alot for ur help
Use Skyfire. Full flash support. Youtube videos will play directly on the browser

Ya, like dial-up circa 1995 slow.
i tried going to failtube with ie, it works a lot better than skyfire as far as quality is concerned. in opera, you can do the same by turning on "plug-ins" under the options --> advanced (or something to that end). it works sometimes, other times it doesn't. beats me why.
