Official YouTube application in beta, working on Nokia Nseries and Sony Ericsson phones
Posted by Stefan on Thursday, January 24th, 2008 at 9:43 am under Sony Ericsson, Nokia
YouTube has released a beta application that will allow you access to their entire library on your phone. Sadly I can't test this on my Nokia N82 and I'm tearing the house inside out trying to find my N95 which is on the list of compatible devices along with Nokia's N73, E65, 6110, 6120 and SonyEricsson K800 and W880. The video (above) should help guide you on installing the application.

UPDATE: I found out how to download it onto any phone, and I seriously mean any phone. Just point your phone browser to http://www.google.com/m/download/youtube/download?sign=1&make=Nokia&model=N95&ver=v1.0.1.
Is that too long to type? Use your QR code reader then:

emTube still gives you much better quality. I'm not editing my post to say that only because youtube embed code screws up whenever i edit a post.
download emTube (S60 phones only) from here: http://www.emtube.yoyo.pl/

agreed. I also really enjoy the portrait mode in emTube as well… not switching anytime soon.

@Hassan: I think you mean landscape.

still waiting for emtube to allow me to logon to my youtube account..

It does not work on ANY phone.
On my P990 says "Authorization Failed".

Urgh, it's Java.. Worked somehow but lack of full screen is a serious issue. Or is it there somewhere?
We seem to get different ways of watching YouTube every other week, but how about a general solution to access all of the other important Flash-based sites out there, you know what I mean

that is an old phone, might not have all the proper J2ME JSR's.

well once S60 phones get powerful enough I'm sure Nokia could ask Adobe to use Open C to port their Linux version of the desktop version of Flash onto the platform.

This application is pretty much useless since we have emTube available.
Uninstalled it within 3 minutes

'Could not connect to video streaming server' on my N93 connecting over wifi. And the backlight seems to switch off at weird times.

Andrew, you'll have to go into realplayer and change your default network settings.

Well, it can upload videos, just for that it warrants staying in my phone
January 24th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Works pretty good, except for the video uploading. I simply can not get any videos to upload -

1) change the real player sttings to a WLAN.
2) dont have your profile on 'silent' mode.

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.
YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.
Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
