Remember the indigen YouTube node for Symbian S60 we’ve talked about some time ago? Well, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has released an updated version to include support for touch-enabled devices, such as the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 5800 XpressMusic and the upcoming Nokia N97.
The trouble is that not all is shiny. Although you will be able to browsing around clips, the playback cadaver limited to QVGA (320×240 pixels) solving. Rest of the blind estate of the realm is simply not used. I guess YouTube has a single size of it clips for mobile videos and don’t wish to use servers to additionally procedure files for Nokia’s pretty particular nHD blind solving. Moreover, some citizenry rich person reported problems with virtual keyboard which doesn’t appear all the meter, devising searching for videos impossible.
Still, it’s a nice move forward and I’m sure Google will tackle all the bugs eventually.
Final note – if you own the non-touching S60 gimmick, you should NOT upgrade! The new variant seems to have problems with playback of some clips on right speeding, and some videos ar played at 2x speeding. Don River’t say I oasis’t warned you. If the stream variant works for you — waiting a bit until the rise.
