All of you have made such ridiculous claims that the DSi has the possibility of getting Flash. It's been said that it can't happen, because the DSi has little to no memory to run Flash. Flash can run of the DSi, but can't because of one thing.
Most Flash sites run on the "MouseOver" script that initiates Pull down menus. The cursor runs over it. The DSi/iPod/iPhone/iPad all use coordinate based cursors, which are not in real time. It's possible to implement Flash, but the usability is far from possible.
Here's what a Flash web developer said about it:
"Many (if not most) current Flash games, menus, and even video players require a visible mouse pointer. They are coded to rely on the difference between hovering over something (mouseover) vs. actually clicking. This distinction is not rare. It’s pervasive, fundamental to interactive design, and vital to the basic use of Flash content. New Flash content designed just for touchscreens can be done, but people want existing Flash sites to work. All of them—not just some here and there—and in a usable manner. That’s impossible no matter what.
All that Apple and Adobe could ever do is make current Flash content visible. It would be seen, but very often would not work. Users would hate that broken promise much more than they hate gaps in pages, missing banner ads, and the need to download a game once from the App Store instead of re-downloading it every time they visit a Flash game page."
Hoho, let the argument begin.

007Jesse-My Dsi broke, So I use an iPod touch for everything that I used to use a dsi for.You can't watch videos on the web, you can, however open most [u]YOUTUBE</I>videos in the built in Youtube veiwer.
if you are in overview mode on your DSi and you do that thing to go over links(L button and the control pad) it will sometimes work with websites such as myspace.
That's an interesting take on it. Also, I believe that we will see the demise of the proprietary Adobe Flash product in videos over the next few years as the HTML5 video element comes into use more. Currently YouTube is in beta with the new cross-browser tool. Safari, Opera, and FireFox, all support it in their newest versions.
