YouTube launches HTML5-enabled mobile website for iPhone and Android, so what this really means is that the iPhone (which doesn’t support flash) can now view videos on YouTube… here’s what’s new:
It’s really fast.
The user interface incorporates larger, more touch-friendly elements, making it easier to access videos on the go.
It incorporates the features and functionality you’ve come to expect from the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, the ability to designate “favorite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.
As we make improvements to Youtube.com, you’ll see them quickly follow on our mobile site, unlike native apps which are not updated as frequently.
Go ahead and stare the user interface of the Windows Phone 7 deserves it. That’s the reaction we got at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona when we revealed this new holistic design system that brings together form and function based on key principles — informing every aspect of the phone.
