Too sad!

All the Youtube links in your article don’t work. Every page says “This page is not available”. I was really courious to see Youtube on my Nokia E61. Neither the Nokia browser nor Opera mini show me a movie.

Does anybody know how the built in Flash Player works? It seems to play only downloaded Flash animations. But who has that? Flash is normally embedded in websites like Youtube.

They’re certainly hiring for it.

Yakito, the site will be live for US users in June and earlier for users in Europe. Im not sure for other areas. I actually went back to the booth and double checked with the YouTube spokesperson on the different months for different geographies because I thought it was surprising — spokesperson said the site will be blocked for the US until the exclusivity of the Verizon Wireless deal runs out.

For commenters who aren’t able to access the mobile YouTube site — that’s because it hasn’t launched yet. The demo link (http://m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo)
is something that was unearthed by some bloggers over the past few weeks and it seems like only select phones have been able to access it. I don’t think YouTube meant to leave that link unblocked, and I’m not sure of the phone criteria for access of it. If I learn more about it, I’ll update the post.

Would be great to have them join the party. You can already search for and play videos from YouTube and many others at blueapple.mobi. Let us know what you think. Thanks!

It would be a natural move for YouTube to go mobile…if fact if it does not I would think it has missed out on the much bigger opportunity.

Now only if internet browsing on my cellphone wasn’t so expensive… :S

Text “youtube ” to 44636 (4INFO). You’ll receive a response with video titles and links, but very few phones offer the flash support needed to display the full YouTube page at present. This is a 4INFO open platform service (http://open.4info.net) that took all of ten minutes to set up, but is clearly of limited utility now. Once YouTube Mobile is online it should be more interesting (for those YouTube junkies that prefer the speed of SMS search before initiating a WAP session, at least).

Damned comment bracket/markup mix-up — try texting “youtube [search string]” to 44636.

The demo site (m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo could refer to Helio’s phone YT (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.03/helio_pr.html) which would give you a clue as to why it doesn’t work for some phones and does for others: it was made to show Helio what the site can do for the high end market that Helio is targeting.

Just what you need, YouTube on the go! Now you can Watch every frame of Dudes lighting Farts while you sip on your Frappuccino. What a Country! YouTube will launch its mobile website in June 2007 for U.S. users, according…

Youtube really have no choice but to do this. If they really want to remain ahead, getting into the mobile market now instead of later is the obvious and best choice. I applaud their vision, and hope they get on with it quickly.

Not only will it allow for youtube to be accessible, but it will probably contribute to technology in a wonderful way helping us all to become more mobile, and opening up the opportunities for more technologies and companies in the mobile market- or to use the mobile market. My mind has a lot of ideas here, but we will see what youtube can pull off.

Thanks for the update.

This would be great new for those people on the go and at the same time they are able to watch their fav youtube videos on the mobile or PDA. Great!

hey i just got an iPhone, and i have heard that they are installing flash from MANY websites. i be this is part of the plan! I read on one site that apple was interviewed, but they didnt answer many questions. If they put flash on it (my phone does not have flash) then i bet i will be able to use it. since yesterday, i went to google.com on my phone, and it was also a mobile version. sounds cool!

By tapping on the mobile market now, they are able to generate more revenue for google considering the fact they have establish themselve on the home pc. Youtube Rocks!

I think it’s interesting how everything is become more and more mobile, such that we’ll all be connected to the Internet at all times. Think of Amazon’s Kindle, which allows you to connect to Sprint’s mobile network to download books at an instant. And now YouTube’s mobile version. I think mobile information technology is where it’s all headed.

If they release a mobile plan where access to Youtube is uncounted I think it could be very successful, the data charges on most plans at present would really make it too expensive to use.

This looks like a great idea. A lot of sites whose services are like that of You Tube are working in partnership of other companies to boost their popularity. Imeem, for example, has partnered with Friendster.

It’s already 2008, what happened to this plan? Was this pushed through?

I’d like to see youtube moving to mobile, or acquiring one of the existing players in the vedio/mobile space.

Lets see the joy with youtube, in the world of mobile
