YouTube
launched a mobile interface available at
m.youtube.com. To use it,
you need a mobile phone that plays streaming videos (RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR) and
an unlimited data plan because "YouTube Mobile is a data intensive application".
Most 3G phones support 3GP, but you can also play these files on your computer
if you have a player like MPlayer, VLC, RealPlayer or Quicktime. Only a small
part of YouTube's videos are available in the mobile version and that includes
short videos that were recently uploaded or popular. There are also three
special categories: people, entertainment and "grab bag" and a search box that
lets you find videos.
Update: YouTube has begun offering
a Web-based editing tool that is apparently provided by Adobe Systems. The "remixer," which is branded with an Adobe logo, enables users to create more professional-looking videos by splicing together media such as video clips, photos, music, graphics and other effects, according to information found on the site.
