I think it's all flash, so you would have to get pocketpc flash player.

Nope, it does not work, apparently tha PPC flash package does not include .FLV support, there is a tutorial somewhere in aximsite that shows how to download youtube videos on your PC and then you can copy them to the Axim.

For the time being, it doesn't work even if you have the last Flash Player for PPC.

Yes there is a way to watch youtube on your axim, I've found a way via a tutorial on another site and it indeed works however not without its problm. The video is too choppy to run even with the power of the axim. With the wifi it downloads smoothly enough and the audio plays fine, but for the video playback it seems like the software isn't optimized for stuff like this.

Here is simple way to view youtube video:
Open notepad and copy the text below and save it as youtube.html and then transfer that file to your axim and open it. It should open PIE or whatever browser you have and play the video. You need flash player 7 or it will not work.

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="450" width="370">
<param name="Src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YUMXto8qmF4">
</object>
</body>
</html>

"http://www.youtube.com/v/YUMXto8qmF4" is just a short video that was featured so I just chose that, you can replace that link with your own by taking the link from the box to the right of embed on the youtube video of your choice.
