the Touch doesn't support Flash at all
the YouTube playback is from Apple and Google's collaboration to convert the videos and you run them through a program
most of the YouTube library should be available though
I don't think you get to do all the things with your account as on standard YouTube
The only player to support Flash video sites natively is the Archos 605Wifi
So can you search ANY video on the youtube network? Can you log into your youtube account and view your favs? I know the Ipod touch isn't compatible with flash and java apps besides youtube. I was just wondering how limited the use of youtube is.
