YouTube premieres mobile app for Symbian, WinMo

Google-owned user-generated content site YouTube announced it will extend its mobile video application to support most Windows Mobile and Symbian Series 60 devices. "In addition to providing YouTube on more phones than ever before, [the mobile application is] also much faster--up to 90 percent faster starting up, searching, and video loading--and gives you better video quality that’s automatically optimized to your WiFi or 3G network,” writes David Stewart of YouTube’s product marketing team on the YouTube blog. Stewart adds that additional mobile enhancements and improvements are in the pipeline, with the application sending users alerts as updates become available.
