New YouTube App for Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 phones

The list of supported Nokia S60 phones did not include the Nokia N96 I use (although it does support the older N95 model). So, I tried it on my Windows Mobile smartphone (an HTC TyTn – touch screen model). It’s CoverFlow-like selection process with thumbnails moving horizontally and expanding whichever item is in the middle seems inefficient on a screen in portrait mode. I would have preferred a vertical view that would let me see more thumbnails on a portrait display. The square flat buttons look out of place and somewhat odd on a Windows Mobile smartphone.

But, these minor interface issues aside, it is good to have a native YouTube viewing app for Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 smartphones.
