No Streaming at all?! (And No Flash)

SlashGear have posted the first of two parts of their HTC Touch HD review.

No streaming at all?! I have no experience of Windows Mobile so I do apologies for the ignorance.

But no flash streaming? Very disappointing.

What about streaming from an rtsp:// or an mms:// ? From what Slashgear said, that's out of the question too.

Am I right or just interpreting their sentence incorreclty.

you interpreted wrong.

they were talking about no streaming within the browser, think desktop youtube site. you could use third party player that can pickup the links when you click on a rtsp: link or whatever and open up the player separate from the broswer and do the streaming that way.

There's actually a built-in application to play Streaming Media.

That's a bit inconvenient and silly isn't it? I guess it'll have to do.

I assume this lets down other WM devices such as the SonyEricsson X1 ?

Apart from the Youtube video application, there's a separate one I take it? I'd rather watch some factual programming such as CNN or BBC News rather than fake videos of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live and dogs on skateboards !

Opera supports Flash and straming without a problem, it just isn't installed. Go to Adobe or other sites, get Flash Lite and there you got your streaming and youtube videos...

Oh right. Thanks for that - very helpful, and probably the last stumbling block before I buy the Touch HD.

Just for information: As far is i saw last time, the latest Flash Lite is not realeased yet. So its not on Adobe yet, but it is on the net, so just search for flash lite on google and you will find a download link
