YouTube Upgrades Their Mobile Presence

YouTube is launching a new mobile website optimized for smart phones.

Unlike other social, video and content sharing sites, YouTube has been criticized by some for not having a mobile site as advanced as other equally popular websites.

The obvious goal of the update is to enable mobile users to access their account, view favorite videos, and share new content quickly.

According to YouTube, the new version has been “specifically designed to access YouTube on smartphones with capable browsers; phones like the iPhone, G1 and Palm Pre.”

YouTube’s mobile page now loads as a much cleaner-looking home page. Popular and recommended videos are easy to access with all the features for our videos that we know and love in plain sight – a preview image, title, rating, length, and view count.
