Anytime you cant stream a video right click (on N900 touch & hold) on the video and the menu opens up & it will give you the flash player version. In this case mentioned above, these sites are using an updated Adobe flash player ver. 10.1. I happen to own a Nokia N8 which has the Adobe Flash 10 and it doesnt work on that. Nokia N8 Flash player is the beta version and it is different than the nonbeta version.

Adobe announced the version 10 back in Oct 2009.

In the demo video they showed the new version 10.1 on Nokia N900 running fast, clear and smoothly. I spoke with Nokia about this recently. The sense I got from them is that it is somewhat evident that Nokia has abandoned the N900 support and are concentrating on N8, E7 and so on.

The only way we will ever be able to see the video on these sites is for Nokia to upgrade the player with an SW update or for the developers to rework the codes and write the program that will marry the Flash player 10.1 to the Maemo 5.

I wont bet on Nokia doing anything about this. Look at what has happened with the support for their earlier Tablets such as N800, N810. It does not exist anymore.

Let's hope the developrs come through, otherwise there will be more sites switching to new flash player versions and in time this deice will become useless.

Off subject; this is one of the reasons that the N900, $500 device when it was released only sells for $300 today. Android phones or even a low tech device like iphone still selling close to its fulll original price. This is why Nokia continues to loose the market share. If only they made these new devices like the old N95 model, solid bullet proof and extremely versatile, still today.
