Right, that’s it. I’ve had dozens of emails about Mobile YouTube and how great it is for mobile users. Many have asked why we haven’t covered this, especially after we mentioned several ways to get YouTube vids on your phone.
Well, the simple fact is that, for the majority of Windows Mobile devices, m.youtube.com just doesn’t work. It’s annoying as heck – especially when some Windows Mobile handsets will play the videos but a lot of others don’t. It should just work – end of story, but unfortunately the reality is somewhat different.
If you really, really, want to get the small selection of m.youtube.com videos on your handset there’s a great how-to at PocketPCMag.com. As for me, I’ll just stuff the URL into sites like this and then download the resulting video to my phone.
