YouTube For S60 Gets An Update And Full Support For Touch UI





YouTube Goes NativeGoogle has rolled out a first update for its mobile YouTube client for S60 devices which brings an improved support for touch user interface and the 5th edition of S60 platform.

Unfortunately application is still not fully optimized for the high resolution screens and fails to work in full screen mode and play videos on native resolution but at least it now supports on screen keyboards which means that you can now search through entirely YouTube catalogue.

Although it works fine overall, the to point out that there's still plenty of room for improvements in usability and interface, improvements like support for the full screen mode and especially ability to switch to High Quality mode.

Also, if you are owner of 3rd ed device you should think twice before update as it brings a quite annoying bug according to users reports over at forum section. Apparently it fails to play some clips on right speed, and some, actually most of the videos are played at 2x speed!
A New And Improved YouTube Application For S60 Devices


Of course, S60’s web browser is good enough to browse both, mobile and desktop version of the YouTube, but a dedicated client simply offers easier manipulating and more rich experience.

Bad video quality and annoying java limitations are a thing of the past with the launch of native Symbian application that brings improved, intuitive and easy to use user interface and what is even more important it offers better video quality and significantly improved viewing experiences.

Application combines the best of both worlds; it uses the MobiTubia like eye-candy and user friendly interface and the well known EmTube video quality, I just tested it on my oldie Nokia N95 and it simply rocks!

YouTube for mobile means having millions of videos right in your pocket, including most viewed, top rated, and the most recent videos. Last but not the least, there is an option to find the specific video you’re looking for by easily searching for it and to discover “Related” videos for each video you watch as well.

Once when you pick up category or get the search result you can browse through videos that are represented with the thumbnails and show basic information such as Title, Duration, rating, number of views and the description.

When you click on the video that you’re looking for, application will switch into player mode and change the screen orientation to landscape with the smooth and eye-candy transition animation. The player itself offers the basic commands, play, pause, forward, backward and the ability to change the volume.

Unfortunately, the new mobile client for S60 devices is limited to a passive viewing experience, it doesn’t lets you "log in" and as a result, core YouTube features like rating, upload and access to personal videos are stilly only available through the browser.
