If you're a Stork fan, definitely get the Galaxy S

Wha?

You can play Youtube videos on the iPhone, it just won't use Flash to do so. You can use both the mobile web site and the Youtube application.

The only requirement is that there is a H264 version of the video. Which is most videos nowadays.

Tazza: who or how did you get the idea that you cannot play videos without the iPhone? Flash is a way to serve video, but its not the only one. Just because something uses Flash on your PC, doesn't means that it needs Flash on mobile. Youtube and Livestream, for example, work fine on an iPhone

The best thing you can do is to make a list of what you want to use on the phone (Youtube, whatever), and then do it on a sample iPhone and Galaxy S. Use them for long enough that you can get a good feel of the device. TL is pretty biased against Apple, so you won't get a pretty fair opinion in here.

My personal recommendation:

If you prefer a better app marketplace, product polish: iPhone
If you prefer tinkering, feature checklist: Galaxy S


Watch at 10:20 and you will see where I got that idea. Can iPhone play videos on hulu and veoh and stuff?


Ah, I see.

The iPhone won't play the video embedded in the web site. Instead, it shows the video player on full screen when you tap the placeholder image (it has a Play icon). I juat played the video you linked on my iPhone.

Hulu is streamed via the iPhone app. I just tried veoh and it works the same as YouTube.

This is the trade off: the iPhone won't play content that absolutely needs Flash. on the other hand, more content is becoming Flash free because of the iPhone's momentum. Android has a Flash player, but performance can be hit-and-miss, and has an impact on battery life.

So yeah, try them out, and see how they fit your needs.

All right thanks for the info man. I really appreciate it. I am leaning more towards the iphone 4 now. My uncle has a galaxy s, used it, but wasn't impressed

I went with the Galaxy S simply because it's cheaper and much easier to get around here.
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!
