Hi All, So back to the original question. As of today, does Android support Sreaming YouTube video in any shape or form? I have a new Sciphone G2 with the youtube app installed that connects to the site ok, but then gives a pop up saying Sorry your phone does not support the type of streaming video used by YouTube. The site browses just fine.
Thanks In advance.
