Has anyone been able to get netfront to play flash media? I use to have a PPC before I bought the TH55 that could run macromedia flash through the built in Pocket Internet Explorer. Since Macromedia flash player is already installed... i just figured it would work with netfront.

I have noticed-- when there's a flash file to be loaded, rather than play it outright, Netfront instead presents a pop-up, allowing me to save the swf file. I've done so a couple of times, out of curiosity. Then used the built-in FlashPlayer to check it out.

Personally, I like the way NetFront handles this. But then again, I'm one of those who deliberately applied fixes to WinXP so I'd neither see flash stuff, nor be hassled with the "you need MacroMedia Flash" nonsense.

Yeh I agree, some of the flash stuff out there is just annoying, but I like goin to some places every now and then that have funny cartoons. Plus its just really cool to play flash on a palm!

I actually can't even get mine to download the flash file. It just comes up blank and doesnt prompt me for anything.
