No, it's not a website that moves around: YouTube has launched a version of its popular web-streamery for mobile phones.

I MUST KNOW where that video is.
I ALWAYS need a video of a dog eating balloons!!!!!

Anyways, Cool beans and all.
But That sucks for Nor Cal.

Out here in Nor Cal, The newest phone from Nokia is the N75 with cingular. Which is a good enough phone, but we don't get the updates that the N80 gets. Because it is a cheap knock off of the N80.

But Hope fully, I will be able to hit this site. Solely Because of the Dog eating balloons!

The mobile version has been around for a while, but only allowed access to a very small subset of the videos. Now every single one is available to view, and there is also a Java based application for certain mobiles (Nokia N73, N95, E65, 6110, 6120 & SonyEricsson K800, W880).

I've install the app, but so far I've not been able to stream anything. So far emTube (for S60 3rd edition phones) is a lot better.

Three Mobile in the UK have been offering this for aaages. It was even a pre-made bookmark on my phone that I bought a few months back.

I tried it with a Windows Mobile 5 phone and end up with a nasty error message when I click a video:
"An unknown error 0x8007274D has occurred".

Oh well, I just wanted to see if it would work, guess not.
