Download Metro Browser to Play Flash Video FLV on WP7 (Youtube,MegaVideo, VideoBB)

If you own a Windows Phone 7 device, it is likely that your friends who are on Android are quick to point out the shortcomings of your platform. In most cases, the criticism is somewhat justified, but Microsoft and WP7 developers are always trying to ensure that they keep pace with other smartphone operating systems. One of the bigger advantages that Android, and even iOS, enjoy over Mango is that, both of them have apps that let users play Flash content on their device. However, that’s one thing WP7 users don’t have to long for anymore, to a limited extent, at least. Metro Browser is a web browser for WP7 that allows you to play Flash videos from a number of sources. The approach does not work with every video on the internet, but does work with MegaVideo, Videoweed, VideoBB, Videozer, Movshare, Novamov, Sockshare, Putlocker and of course Youtube.Of The app does not support Adobe Flash, but that does not mean we do not want to see the videos on the internet that is still only in FLV format.



Metro Browser’s Flash support does not imply that you will be able to play Flash content from any website. Unfortunately, the app supports a limited number of sources, but that’s still better than nothing. Now, for the good part. The sources supported by Metro are pretty popular, meaning that you will be able to watch content from MegaVideo, VideoBB and other similar sites. The streaming rate is pretty good, and once a video has finished buffering, it is likely to run smoothly on a Wi-Fi connection with moderate speed.

Metro Browser will set you back $1.99, but if you don’t want to spend anything, you can download its trial version, which is ad-supported but has no other restrictions.
