Returning some videotapes
Samir, the guy who made rotateme and Nokmote has made yet another application. A Youtube application, that allows you to watch flash ie standard Youtube videos (not the cut down mobile version).

Its in beta (very beta!) but I am sure will be developed fairly quickly, like he did with the other apps. (Lets hope you will be able to log in to your youtube account one day.)

PS Its unlikely Nokia will release updated firmware, allowing full flash internet browsing support on the N95 8Gb or N82 (the latest S60 phones) so this application might be the closest we get to youtube on Symbian.

EDIT - This: http://www.emtube.yoyo.pl/ is much better - love it, proper youtube videos.

Install the flash player, restart the phone, then move the samir youtube app file into the directory called 'others' (on the phone, not the 'memory card'). Then you just open the flash app (the flash 3.0 app) and you can use samirs programme in there. (I had to work that out, as I had the same problem as you!)

Will check this out later, but quick question, does this stream the videos? Or like some other 'youtube players' does it download the .flv file and subsequently decode and play it back?

It streams the videos. It cant do this because flash lite 3 supports full flash.:)
A warning, its very basic indeed, almost a proof of concept, but like I said it will be updated quickly.
