Why? Flash 11 doesn't bring a lot to the table that the N9 can benefit from.
<SNIP>most major thing of note was better 3D rendering over OpenGLES 2...
But I'm fairly confident that developers aren't going to be targeting flash for mobile 3D games any time soon
That's true, given the longer-term outlook for the platform.

I think possibly improved video decoding,
That's mainly what I was hoping for....

The real question you should be asking, is if it was compiled with hardware acceleration
This is significant too, good point....
It'd still be good to get confirmation at some point, as to whether it's completely ruled-out

Just tried the exact same thing with Firefox, and yes, it played the video! OK, so it managed on 360p, and became choppy higher than that, but it is fine with me, as long as I can play flash videos, I'm happy!
Big thanks to jolo for making this happen. It's so good to know Nokia are still working hard to make this phone of theirs even better. I am a happy chap!
You would've been playing HTML5/WEBM, not Flash...
IIRC the reason you had that issue w/the stock browser, is to do w/how YouTube sniffs the UA for the stock browser from an embedded vid.
IIRC if you went directly to YouTube and watch it from there, the stock browser should've handed it pretty well.
