I am going on sites to watch programs on my phone brower. Im using 'Mini Boat Browser'. I can get past all the ads within the video but when it comes to playing the video, I can't play it. When i go on the same site on my PC, it works. I can view the video but doesnt work on my phone. Why not? Is there a good browser to do this?

Do you have adobe flash installed on your phone? Are you sure that the site you are visiting is using flash and not some other video type?

I have a feeling that it isn't flash then. It could be one of a number of different codecs that you computer can play. The next time you are on your computer try playing the video and right clicking on it to see what information is given.

You're not seeing flash videos because you're using a "mini" browser. Basically all the minis (dolphin mini, boat mini, opera mini) won't be able to show you flash videos. Those are like just bare bones browsers to get to your content fast. You need the HD versions (boat HD, dolphin HD, Opera Mobile, etc).

It has less features, for example I dont think the mini has the ability to change user agent, or has a screenshot or save webpage feature, and has greater support for websites.
Basically, mini versions are barebones browsers, while the HD ones have more complete feature sets and capabilities trying to be as close to desktop browsers as possible.
