      i have this device and i notice before that whenever u go to youtube on the browser, the video only shows the flash logo and its not loading right? i stumble to an option on the preference section(where u can locate the "run flash") theres ano ther option there called "hide ad" untick it and ull get ur browser to load youtube video whatever video u touch without the flash logo.

          George, 09 Jul 2010whats new in jf4 from jf1 ..ny major improvements in speedI flashed from JEE (XEU). Not much improvement really, the same in everything (coz I still selected XEU) But there are a lot included. In JEE, only KOR and XEU. Speed, yes. JF4 reacts more speedily and accurately than JEE. In other words, JF4 is smoother than JEE. I also noticed that the sound (headphone) is better than JEE (I'm not saying though that the sound on JEE is bad). I think it is worth the risk of flashing. I did not try JF1 coz I did not have the nerve then to flash jeje. There were no problems whatsover when I flashed. I'm on Win7 ultimate 32 bit.

The only flaw (a tiny one, which should be addressed soon considering its a brilliant device overall) is the text reflow in browser when zooming and the flash streaming. Hope that comes soon !! Btw will opera mini support flash 10 if I download the jar file and install it ?

                        Thanks

                                      To New Waver..
                                      "But i tried and i couldnt actually get the streaming media to play on this with only the inactive "flash 9" icon showing where the video was supposed to be."

                                      When you see "flash 9" icon that means that the file is of higher version than 9. Most streamig videos use flash 10 that's why you can't view them currently on the Wave. Don't worry though, Full flash 10.1 is coming to bada OS in 'near' future. Just be patient people :)
