yup. 
i'm using a Motorolla Droid running with the latest firmware. Just a picture for the video. Also when viewing the page vertically the News - Videos - Reviews ...etc links at the top are all scrunched up and even cut off. Gotta go horizontal to get it to work. 
 
Just tried the podcast page. No play button or anything there either.

Am I missing the download link for videos on the mobile site or is it not there yet? And if it isn't are there any plans to put one up? I know I can just download them to my PC then move them to the phone but connecting the Galaxy S is always a trial so I'd rather avoid it if I can.
Also I just checked and the bombcast doesn't work for me on the mobile site either, videos play fine though.

The mobile site is awesome. The videos are shockingly smooth and crisp compared to the not so great flash before. Handily beats the android app on my Evo 4G...AND it works on Tested. Great!

Is there a way to quote/reply to forum posts through the mobile site? I like the forum interface and everything else on the mobile site, but I'd love to quote people if at all possible. Then again, it's possible I'm missing it and it's very easy to quote through the mobile interface.

Like I said, videos will not play. Specifically, a popup informs me that "This Video Cannot Be Played". When I said that the problem is with Android, I should have specified that I'm running Android 2.1 My carrier did not update to 2.2, and I'm not brave enough to root.

Is there any chance of including the Achievement data on the mobile site? That's one of my most used features and having it on the go would be pretty boss.

Mobile site is great. Two feature requests though. When redirecting to mobile site, can we get redirected to the page we originally wanted? Following links from twitter is impossible right now. Can forum posts be limited to one level of quotes for the mobile site? Keep up the good work!

I have a Droid X. Did you try clicking on the image? At first, I thought "Oh shit, it's just an image!" but if you click on it, a video should start loading like any other YouTube video.

@MagusMaleficus: What browser are you using? I found the only browser that works properly is the stock one. 
 
Edit: Also try going to  http://html5test.com/ on your phone and checking to see if you passed the H.264 support test. Cause I think thats the format for the mobile videos?

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but is there a way navigate to the achievement section of a game page? I can't seem to find it.

Hey just as a quick shout-out to some of my fellow android users 
 
I'm currently using a motorola milestone (droid) on android 2.1update1. The only way for me to get the mobile site to work (properly) is to use the stock browser. Anything else seems to have weird problems. Also as I reccommended to Magus earlier, use your phone to go to http://html5test.com/ and then see what score you get on the video test. (I've gotten 22/27 and only passed the "video element" and "poster image support" tests) 
 
@MagusMaleficus: About what I said about the H.264 test earlier, I just realized that my phone doesn't pass that either but the videos still work. 
 
Edit: I just tested the browser "Dolphin browser HD" and that works for the site along with the stock one.

The stock Android browser works great for site navigation and video. I'm using an original Motorola Droid. I do wish I could see quests and achievements, though. Do quests update if I watch a video or view a page on the mobile site?
