Youtube just updated their S60 app to version 2.2.17. I’ve installed it on my Nokia N97 and made a video to show you how it looks. The main difference I noticed from the previous version is that the option bar on the right disappears to play videos in the middle. Unfortunately, there’s still no option for full-screen viewing.

I have Flickr, Facebook, Youtube, and Ovi Share to host my videos and photos, but uploading to each one can be a hassle. Luckily, Shozu on my Nokia N95 8GB and other compatible Nokia devices has a feature that lets me send the photos to all the selected sites in one upload. I’ll show you how.

Here’s a video demonstration of the Nokia N95 Original (also known as N95-1), playing flash videos within the Youtube.com site. The firmware on this Nokia N95 is version 21.0.001, but its availability is still unknown. The current firmware at the time of this post, 20.0.015 can not play videos within the Youtube.com site.

Time for some reader discussion! On my next phone, I want at least 3.5 inch touchscreen display with 5 megapixel camera, video-recording at least 640×480 at 30 FPS, xenon flash, GPS, native flash support so that the real Youtube.com videos actually work, at least 128mb RAM, microSDHC storage, battery life that lasts longer than a day, and thin enough to still fit in my jeans. I almost forgot to mention that I should still be able to make calls. It sure doesn’t sound like I’m describing a phone. Let me know what you want on your next phone.

In conjunction with the website Great Pockets, it looks like the marketing team for the Nokia N95 also created a YouTube account to upload some viral videos. The account was created only 2 days ago and so far have 3 videos 4 videos. Notice that there is no mention of the Nokia N95 anywhere on the videos and you will not know it is an ad for the Nokia N95 until after navigating the website. Check it out.
