Hi 'been using Skyfire for the past 6 months to watch BBC news and other channels embedded within the BBC webpages. I was wondering if anybody had found another solution for example a version of Opera etc? Thanks
bbcplayer not sure if it works or not but give it a go.
Mach5 Browser
Hey There!
Mach5 mobile brower, is also a very usefull and compatible browser.
The textinput is more handy than Skyfire, and it has an own videoplayer for onsite videofiles, very handy.
The only negative thing is, you have to pay for it! (not that much, but still)
But, I like it very much!

Is there a way to put a real web browser on the sda?
If not ,what phone will?
Is firefox mobile good?
The closest thing I've seen to a real web browser on a Microsoft phone is the Picsel browser for the touchscreen phones.
It can't hold a candle to iPhone's Safari, so I've been told.
Opera mini can show pages like that. The only problem is that some scripts are disabled. Other than that pages look more or less the same as they would look on desktop. It also reduces the amount of loading time.
Other browser was Microsoft Deepfish, but there is not much news about that one.
sda?
Will any of these browsers work on sda?
Just interested in streaming the site "slacker".com
Are they safe?
2nd on Opera Mini, its great and amazingly fast. It makes mobile browsing awesome esp once you get to know the shortcuts, and esp when you like to go back and forward through your history a lot. Its soo damned fast at that. Just make sure you get Mini, not Mobile.
ohh streaming is another story...I know there are some streaming video options/flv options. I just haven't kept up with those options. I'm sure if you did a search on playing youtube, you'd come up with something.
But if you could deal w/not using Slacker.com. These two sites are formatted for mobile use and work excellently in Pocket IE.

Radiotime has real radio stations and a really cool format that allows you to change stations and genres using your joystick.
Good Evening,
I recently seen an advertisement for www.joost.com, where you can stream some full length movies to a mobile phone. It was tested with an AT&T Tilt using skyfire. Well...I downloaded skyfire, just to find out there is no support for vga screens just yet.
Are there any mobile browsers that will allow streaming video, or maybe a plugin for opera mobile??
Thanks gang!
Two side notes,
I had heard Opera was capable of playing music built into a myspace page, etc with an included flash player. Mine does not however, am I missing anything?
I had also heard the Fuze was supposed to have a dedicated You-tube application. I also have not found this. Again, am I missing something?
Thanks!

skyfire does work on vga it just messes up when you rotate the screen so start it in wichever direction u want the screen to be
use orb you can stream any media from your computer to your phone its free
and you can download the youtube app search on here
Skyfire will load, but how would I manage to get to a website without an OSB or the physical keyboard(which would mess up the screen)
I only want it for that one website...opera is fine for everything else
As soon as i enter in a website with the osd...it messes up the screen.
Any ideas?
Hi to all
I bought HTC HD2 two days ago and i don.t know why i Can not watch movies from youtube using the opera.???Is that possible.?
use the youtube application in start/youtube
opera 9.7 does not support flash the way it should but they say opera 10 will
If you want a browser with full flash support (YouTube and everything), get Skyfire.
It's not better than Opera overall, but it's nice to have different options that cater to different needs.
in hd opera when a you tube link was clicked you tube application used to get autolaunch ...
but this never happens in opera of hd2 ..........
but in internet explorer you tube link open in you tube application ............
so any work around for opera of hd2 to launch you tube application when you tube link is clicked ..
Youtube works in Opera and it is fully functional (plays in the broser, with full screen and zoom function), you just need to activate it with a patch:

Also allows to play videos from other Flash-enabled web sites.
I don't recommend Skyfire unless you are in the US.
Skyfire uses servers to give you the content and they are often slow, from the wrong country (DRM issues) or just not available.
You can test skyfire, but for me it didn't do the trick.
Sorry if this is an idiot newbie question but I'm curious: can one use Skyfire to watch flash videos from the desktop-PC version of BBC iPlayer? I've tried using Pocket Internet Explorer, and that initially looks like it's going to work - the counter starts to tick over as if the video were playing - but there's no actual picture. Using Skyfire it complains that I'm trying to access iPlayer from a non-UK site (presumably because the Skyfire proxy server is outside the UK) - is there any way around this?
And yes, I know all about using myplayer and the user-agent hack in Opera. It's specifically desktop (rather than mobile) iPlayer material I'm interested in.
yes u can play iplayer from skyfire but dont like to watch in there tho
The answer you want is 'yes', so long as you are in the uk, since Skyfire now uses localised proxy servers. Video quality isn't all that great in Skyfire but I watched a whole episode of BBC Click without any major issues.
myPlayer does a very good job of sorting out iPlayer streams for you; it can also download higher quality videos.

Okay. How?
Anyone know of any websites using HTML5 to stream music? Pandora is going to update their website to HTML5 soon, but was just wondering if there are any good legal websites streaming using HTML5 for the time being.
something like this>>
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/mobile/HTML5/Audio/Default.html
There is one MS used to demo HTML5 on IE9 - don't recall what it was, but since it wasn't in English, it was pretty much unusable to me. I got it to play something though, and it worked as promised.
But right now I am dissapointed with the lack of HTML5 content on the web. And also it looks like some sites have odd implementations of it. Vimeo HTML5 player, for example, does not work on WP, but does work on the desktop version of IE9. I think the problem is on Vimeo's end - checking for browsers, and not allowing HTML5 to work on browsers not explicitly supported by Vimeo.
The one which MS demoed is already linked in my OP, was just wondering if there were websites using that tech.
I just figured there would be plenty of html5 websites since the iOS devices so not support flash, but I guess flash still rules the web.
https://droptun.es/ has a html5 version of their service (you'll have to link your dropbox account, if you have one, with it, or create one)
Haven't tried it on mango yet but in theory you'll be able to listen to your music while multitasking.
Its no HTML5 support in: 7661.WP7_5_Trial.
Are your just going to test it on your pc ?

Saw some Swedish guy demo this site a way back on wmpoweruser.

IE9 Mobile on Mango beta supports HTML5 and IMO is better than even the desktop version of IE9 Try the Mobile IE9 test drive site, its amazing.
Pandora if you're a One subscriber all users within a couple weeks. Just pin it to your start screen and you're good to go!

You can view youtube vids in your browser. Just enable html5 on youtube, works perfectly for me.
