Have to use dolphin browser to watch on prime. It was a pain to use because Amazon does not recognized this as goggle tv. Will also need to down load a free flip program. As far as watching movies on netflix it works like a charm. Watching movies from transflash work as expected. perconally would have like anoth usb plug in but I hear you can you these to hubs.

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

It does play some flash but some it doesn't.It seems to play the higher bitrate encodes

The one I have is also running adobe flash 11.1 and I agree it is a good inexpensive tablet. I haven't had any troubles.

Using this as a web browser is painfully inadequate. I suggest buying Chromecast instead. It'a a dongle that lets you broadcast any webpage that you're viewing on Google Chrome onto your HDTV. Price is only $29.99 right now on Amazon. Works amazingly well!

Well the New YouTube App for Android is pretty bad so i didn't upgrade. My wife did and its pretty awful, its slow and it sometime crashes (the old app have none of these issues). My browser was a little to slow for my taste as well so i downloaded the Dolphin browser on Google Play and it seems to be working fine so far. I'd recommend doing the same thing.

yes to flash. Doubt it will play using windows 8 because of low resolution. May play if using xp but that is just an opinion.

I'm not 100% sure because I had two bad ones and gave up and bought a Lenovo. But if I had to guess and make a suggestion off past experiences I would recommend going to Adobes website and locate and download the flash player for android. To the best of my memory it didn't come on it. Also from app store download MX player as it will play all possible file types, I had to add this app to my Lenovo to play some video files as the video player most tabs come with are rather limited to the file types it plays. I hope this helps.

The only thing I know that might be able to help you is the Skyfire browser app, which has built-in support for some flash (don't know if that includes all flash such as games or not). I can watch Youtube videos now, so that's a start. But on some other sites the video doesn't load at all. So I'm not sure how much it will help.

It works fine. I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders. I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app. I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play. I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

I have had this device for over a year now. Pretty much any website will load on the built in chrome web browser. Certain websites like ABC and Hulu block video streaming to this device due to some sort of licensing conflict. The web browsing tends to be a little bit slower and clunky compared to a laptop or desktop computer, but the device is very convenient. As long as you have a fast internet connection (anything better than DSL) streaming video will work great. If the device ever freezes or crashes you can press "control" + "alt" + "delete" to restart it.

So 720p on youtube and other engines plays perfectly with no lag. When playing 1080p on youtube, which they now have, seems to lag a bit, but easily fixed. There is a new beta version for flash player 10, it's 10.1. Once downloaded, the computer seems to be a entertainment powerhouse. It takes the consumption off the processor and puts it on the GPU, and then runs so smooth. Use the hdmi port for your 1080p tv and it looks amazing. Hope this helps.

I've not found any website except hulu that don't work. The browser is basically google chrome and works the same way and even plays flash files.
