Get the whole of YouTube on your smartphone

ytplayer2.jpgTypical. You wait ages for YouTube to get round to making its video catalogue-mobile friendly, then enterprising developers go ahead and do it themselves.

Only last month we featured YouTube Pocket, letting Windows Mobile and Pocket PC users access YouTube’s entire library on their smartphones.

Now Symbian users can do so as well courtesy of software developer Samir. His YTPlayer is only at first beta stage but it already offers a full YouTube search and player facilities.

At the moment the app’s only a SWF file and needs Flash Lite 3 to work but at least it does work. You can see if for yourself here.

Update: And it’s not only independent developers now offering the full YouTube experience on mobiles.

In Korea, SK Telecom customers with Helio Ocean handsets can now experience the complete YouTube experience with all the features you’d expect from the website including video uploads and GPS Tagging.
