Finally???
I´ve been able to watch Youtube for 2 years with my Nokia N82.
^^^ He meant flash streaming directly on the site without having to open an entierly new window to view the video, which to my knowledge only the N900 can do
Bill –> yeah thats the one!
While its new to most OEMs, Nokia’s Symbian phones have had embedded video in the browser since 2007. Nothing new on that level. But the Power Twitter Greasemonkey script is unprecedented in a phone, and that’s the big story here. Shout out to Mark and the Maemo.org community, my brethren! We Are Maemo! Let’s show em.
The first to do it was the N95 8gb, and it was later ported to the N95-1, N82, and all subsequent S60 and a few S40 models. I’m shocked you didn’t know that, Phat Trance. Mike is absolutely right.
Christ–> the S60 phones didnt have the streaming flash support until the firmware update. and even after that it worked really bad (specially on my n95).
Well to quote Bill,
“He meant flash streaming directly on the site without having to open an entierly new window to view the video, which to my knowledge only the N900 can do”
The N900 isn’t the only device that can stream Flash video directly on the site without having to open an entirely new window to view the video, as you readily admit.

And you’re right, it was bad on the N95-1, but not on the N95 8gb or N95-3, since they had much more RAM and were more stable when multitasking and browsing Flash sites. It was why I upgraded after about 5 months with the N95-1. If it had more memory, I’d still be using it today.
