Google releases YouTube app for Windows Mobile and Symbian

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - March 20, 2009



Google has released a YouTube app for most Symbian and Windows Mobile phones. Many Symbian devices already have a Flash-capable browser that can watch videos on YouTube, Google's app will likely provide a richer experience for wireless users.

Features via Google's Mobile Blog:

  • More phones: Supports most Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 devices (a list of supported Nokia S60 devices is available here).
  • Speed: Faster application start-up, searching, and video loading. For even quicker access, add the application icon to your phone's home screen.
  • Video quality: The application automatically detects your device and network capabilities, and selects the highest available stream quality based on those. Videos will look sharper and sound clearer than ever.
  • WiFi: Improved streaming over WiFi to support a wider range of networks.
  • More robust streaming: Improved buffering ensures that videos will play even in weak coverage areas.
  • Easy video viewing: Once installed, no configuration is required outside of the application. We've worked really hard to make video playback "just work".
