YouTube application for Nokia mobile

If you are living in this Web 2.0 generation it’s obvious that you run across YouTube at some point or the other. Or if you are a person like me who’d like to see videos to learn stuff rather than reading text, there’s no better place to be than on YouTube.

YouTube for Nokia 5800 (and other S60 devices)

YouTube application for Nokia mobiles (5800 Xpress music)

Since YouTube is full of videos, it’s quite difficult for you to access them from your mobile. Fortunately, YouTube has developed a dedicated application for Nokia Mobiles (devices running on S60 platform) which doesn’t load all things at a time.

Mind you, other top end phones like Android’s or iPhone’s already have dedicated App’s for YouTube. Now it’s turn for the Nokia mobiles.

The installation is simple, just visit this link on Ovi Store from your Nokia mobile (You’ll need to sign into your Ovi Store account, if you’re not already signed in) and start the automatic download and installation process.

The application is around 1mb. So make sure that you either have a data plan for your mobile or are using a wi-fi to access the content.

So how’s the UI?

The user interface is simple and fast with columns for featured video, top rated videos, Most viewed videos and Most recent videos. Click on any link and you’ll have horizontally flowing line of thumbnails which you can move left or right (by your fingers if your device has touch screen) using your mobiles joystick. Select any video and it grows large to fit your screen size.

Since this is still in development stage, you may come across few bummers (which is said by YouTube itself anyway). If there are any new stable updates, you’ll get an update to install the update.

So, happy Tubing Nokia fellas’.
