the browser on the zune hd is extremely fast and efficient. it even keeps cookies and saves passwords, but it doesnt support flash or play youtbe mobile. but as far as i know neither does the iphone. oh and the guy that made this video is a retard he makes it look like the browser is so much harder to use than it is.
have you updated to the new firmware for the Zune HD? the new firmware has a setting to decide whether you want the mobile or desktop version of a web page to load
Scrolling and pinch-to-zoom on the Zune HD looks laggy and buggy, but functional. I still want one since the music player looks wicked and the device is sexy!
Well they're definetly going to add an app for youtube. If they didn't, you can expect a lot of people to be tipping over to the itouch and microsoft knows it. As for why they don't have flash, well there's a very specific reason for that, same reason why there isn't flash on the itouch or iphone.
nVidia released a statement about their tegra line processors a while back; they said that all tegra processors are capable of full flash support. I'm assuming that microsoft will add in flash in the next firmware update.
@palmsolo on your zune hd, go to settings, then to the sub option of internet and the second one down it will say content... all you need to do is click the option and it will change
you can switch it to desktop in the settings.

@dethmetalworld Doesn't make much sense, but no. There is no youtube app, nor can you view the flash videos on youtube.com in the web browser.

Next time do the comparison with the ACTUAL latest version of Internet Explorer Mobile.

That was the actual IE 6 mobile. The only difference is the ui.

Actually, Microsoft is going to forego the Youtube app all together and they're currently working on a firmware update to include Flash support.
