Google’s native YouTube client for S60 has been updated — it’s now in the version 2.2.17 — to work with Symbian S60 5th edition smartphones such as the Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Samsung i8910 OmniaHD. As a result, now you can watch videos in full-screen mode. Moreover, the new version of the app also adds more languages and countries to the mix: Brazil, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
But, and there’s always some “but”, the YouTube client still doesn’t allow users to log in and access their favorites and comment on clips. Hopefully, we’ll see this included in the next release.
In the meantime, if you own some of the devices mentioned above, point a web browser on your mobile phone to m.google.com and take it from there…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
