Until recently if we wanted to watch YouTube on a Windows Mobile device, we had to to hack our Windows Mobile device to do it. Not anymore. Now YouTube improved its site so that Windows Mobile users can access it without a hassle. Again not all videos play perfectly but it’s a start for now.
My first couple of runs worked flawlessly and all 4 videos played without a hitch. Then I tried to watch an episode of High Stakes Poker and it couldn’t read the file. One of the things that bugged me is that it goes into landscape mode when I hit full screen. Being that I have a Treo 750 it doesn’t make that big of an improvement, but if you have an HTC 8525 it might help. Other cool features inclued the ability to search, see your own account, check featured videos, and my favorites.
Now you can enjoy all the laughter of rabbits racing cars and the presidential debate without having to worry about cab files or registry hacks. Simply point your mobile browser to m.youtube.com and get to watching. Keep in mind you will want to have an unlimited data plan due to the fact that large amounts of data will be streamed.
Videos still do not play for me on a Sprint Treo 700wx.
