As reported HERE:
” if you use ThunderHawk Web Browser! Java v1.5 enabled internet explorer allows you to view all the streaming videos you want straight from any website right on your pocket pc! including YouTube, Google Video, etc…
Make sure you’ve got the latest flash player for pocket pc’s (found on adobe.com)…Proud to say that it does work!”
Unfortunately, I had tried Thunderhawk a couple of years ago, and my trial has expired to validate this claim…Could you validate and post the result here!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.
There appear to be issues with the Macromedia flash plug-in, with a work-around described here

Menneisyys, Welcome to SolSie.com! We have been your fan for longtime!…Can we count on you for a solution? hehe..
Hi Acapulco Rolf, this tip is promising!…
I’ve got the Adobe flash plug-in to work and also have flash video playing in pocket IE on a windows mobile 5 device
I’ve used the tweak here to get this working:

So now to get YouTube video et al working in pocket IE
Is this due to pocket ie only supporting a subset of javascript?
When I try to start a youtube video either using the Thunderhawk browser (or Pocket ie) I get this message (paraphrased) “hello, you do not appear to have javascript turned on or do not have the latest flash plug-in”
The poster here (http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forums/hardware/16392-cingular-8125-script-alert-activex.html) appears to have youtube videos working in the Thunderhawk browser but has installed an additional component (“GeoVision MS Smart Phone Viewer”)
OK I get it now..
I’ve just read Werner Ruotsalainen article here ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=969&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) and it’s clear that YouTube Video/Google Video are said to be using flash8+, which explains why the Adobe Flash 7 plug-in/Pocket IE/ThunderHawk combinations won’t play those video formats…
