YouTube Mobile Goes Live

YouTube has official launched the mobile friendly version of their popular video sharing website which is accessible at m.youtube.com. Previously, YouTube had an exclusivity deal with Verizon (in the US) and Vodafone (in UK), which is now coming to an end.

Upon your first visit, you’ll be warned that YouTube Mobile is a data intensive application and they recommend upgrading to an unlimited plan. Only limited number of videos are currently available on YouTube Mobile, which is quite disappointing.

I tried YouTube Mobile on my N95 and the video quality is remarkably good. However, due to lack of content and other social aspects, the site fails to deliver the true YouTube experience.

    Give them a three to six months, i bet variety will improve, and you’ll be able to enjoy them as you currently enjoy the normal web version.

    Well, I joined for the SMS alert 3 months ago. And, I got an SMS telling its open now. Cool. I think their beta testing and in the future, they will be incorporating other features and other videos. But, I dont think this would ever work out if 3G isn’t mainstream.
