New Mobile YouTube App

According to reports by Mediapost, YouTube has made changes to its mobile application for both Windows Mobile and Symbian based phones. The company supposes that the new application is up to a whopping ninety pct quicker when loading YouTube videos, which is largely due to the fact that the app can now ascertain beforehand what form of connection the user has and optimise the video stream in turn to provide best results.

The new edition of the YouTube mobile application is still in its beta stage, and while its webpage looks a wee bit untidy and even includes some outdated info, the app is still there ready to be given a chance. If you do try it out, feel free to share your experience with it here.
