No, the iPod touch can't use flash. (The new iPad tablet and iPhone
don't have flash either.)

Each app handles its own video, but I don't know how it works
internally. For example I have a You Tube app that looks nothing like
the site but plays all the videos there. Most all the news outlets
(NPR, ABC, NY Times, ect) have free apps and they run print articles,
pictures and videos. Also I have rented a full length movie at the
iTunes store and watched it using the included video app.

Adobe and Apple are at war over flash right now. Steve Jobs has said
that flash is buggy, uses too many resources, and he won't use it. He
wants the standard to become HTML 5. If he gets enough
iPads/touchs/iPhones out there he may be able to swing it...

(Check Google for lots of interesting articles on this.)

Oh ok, very interesting. Well at least Steve Jobs and I agree on the
Flash player anyway. ;-)
