Actually, the mobile browser Skyfire for Windows Mobile does support flash so much so that you can view YouTube videos just like you can on a regulat PC.

True. I use it myself and you get full flash and full youtube on my Winmo. How come skyfire makes this possible . . what is the trick?

I believe they have a server that processes the flash data then streams it to the mobile phone in a usable format, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

I was looking into the HTC Touch Pro or Blackberry Storm as my next phone (as it will be a while before the Samsung Omnia is adopted by US carriers) - alas, Skyfire does not work on the Blackberry OS and it does not work on full VGA (only half and quarter). *sigh*

More frustrating, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta still does not have its flash support yet either.
