YouTube is getting ready to launch a new mobile edition of their video service, this is going to be big in my opinion with the whole database that they have optimized for mobile phones. Currently the service located at http://m.youtube.com is showing nothing but a “This page is not available.” message with a very small logo of Youtube 51×19 pixel, dark background and a css file. Following the css file I can guess that there will be listing of videos (obvious) with description, links, rating and each video will have its own page with more details, creation date, maybe also the file size, and duration.
GigaOm reported that :
The mobile site when it goes live will have around 800 “editorial picks” of videos to choose from. It’s kind of an experiment to see how well things go and how good of a response the company gets, the spokesperson explained to us. Though, the end goal is to create a truly mobile YouTube experience with eventual access to the entire video catalog.
