I went on YouTube and saw how the browser stuggles with Flash, if you want a mobile browser to struggle then its up to you!

        I went on YouTube via Safari last night and it blows the Flash streaming version on the Android OS away! Streaming via Flash will only give you an annoying experience.

        Think i'll stick to my HTML5 and streaming Apps where required!

        ps Try TvCatchUp via your amazinng Flash phone and see if you get the same quality as I do with with my iPhone. Er.....I think not!!!!

That's why I'd stick to the Nexus if I was to go Android.

                              Why couldn't all web sites do this instead of requiring me to install an app on my phone? It would seem that it would be easier to create a mobile web site rather than an app for every type of smartphone that is out there today.

                                far far from highest quality,the picture using this youtube app is awfully pixelated. 'Highest quality' sounds like another apple pr statement. The high quality option on htc desires stock youtube app plays videos several times better than this

                                  "What this means is YouTube videos will be of highest-quality possible."

                                  Did the Apple marketing dept. write this article or something?
