    A lot of sites require flash to watch videos and view other types of content. The last I check the iPod Touch and iPhone have very large screens. 0_0

    If you haven't even used Mac OS X don't get in an argument with Teslanaut.

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 Computers. My HP Laptop and my iMac

    Flash would fail on the iPod Touch and iPhone because of the amount of resources that it takes up on the device.

    ShiningSteel, you say lots of websites require Flash, which sites are you talking about? (Try not to mention porn please? :))

    Flash is awesome, I work with it a lot, and I would love to be able to load flash files up on my ipot on the go. But after all my experience, I have to agree with Teslanaut that flash has many rules, exceptions, and exploits that can manipulate the way it works on the ipod platform.

    You can get their Videos in Podcasts via iTunes. Anything else?

    The only think I'd see which would make Flash useful is Streaming content ONTO the device. But then again, How long would the battery last?

    well what about presentations, i make lots of them on flash and it would be awsome that could be possible to view on and ipodtouch..

    sites that uses flash that i read at nights..

    www.gametrailers.com - video games reviews
    www.ign.com - video game previews
    www.mediotiempo.com - soccer live videos scores
    www.espn.com - highlights of games

    and more but those come to my mind right now... so, yes for me it would be awsome to have some flash player at least.

    So how many videos do you think you'll be able to watch before your battery dies?

    And this is under two different conditions: 3G and Wifi.
