Long awaited YouTube Mobile site
is already online!?

I have already written about the mobile version of the YouTube site and I even took a video which shows how it looks like on "my" Nokia N95 via the Nokia Video centre and appropriate RSS feed. Now it seems that the mentioned mobile version of YouTube site is now online and offers this service to the whole Nseries community.

Additionally, it is weird that the site has limited access and it supports only few selected Nseries devices actually and it is impossible to reach it from another phone or even PC for example. The most interesting thing is the fact that my lovely N95 is also on the unsupported/blocked list :(

Anyway, so far I know that it works on the N70, N73 and the N93, so if you are lucky enough to own a supported phone, give it a try, point your browser to m.youtube.com (or to videolinks.nokia.com) and check it out, if you are lucky you will see the YT mobile version and the URL which ends with "ytdemo". Otherwise url will end with "blocked" and "this page is not available".

In short, I’ve just compare this page with the YouTube RSS feed that I have on my N95 and it provides exactly the same content so there isn’t anything new for me but could be interesting for all other N series owners.

Last but not less important; especiall 10x 2 my dear friend OldYeller 4 the heads up and to Symbianguru for additional info as well..
