Google has just released a new mobile JAVA application for YouTube that sadly does not support BlackBerry devices. This is a step forward since most previous devices needed a native YouTube application. So this may be a sign that one for BlackBerry will be coming soon. I guess the underlying issue is that the mobile YouTube mobile website requires a phone that is able to stream 3GP files over RTSP. Which the BlackBerry cannot.
According to GoogleSystem the application currently is only available for the Sony Ericsson K800 & W880 and Nokia S60 3rd Edition phones including the N73, N95, E65, 6110, 6120. They also mention that some people have tried just downloading the JAR file directly from this link but it did not work on my BlackBerry 8310. Maybe somebody with an 8130 can to try it out?
Check out more info on the YouTube Blog. Hopefully this is a sign that a BlackBerry YouTube application is not that far off…
