YouTube's new mobile site is better

According to foreign media reports, YouTube in Wednesday for supporting HTML5 devices, such as the iphone and Android phones, launched a new mobile web site.

The site, which is similar to YouTube's previous versions of mobile sites, supports most of YouTube's capabilities. For the current iphone and Android version of YouTube, the new site will provide better video quality and no drop in application loading speed.

New YouTube mobile sites are better able to support touch screens, and users do not need to be very precise in clicking on a location on the screen. Andrew Duronychev, a YouTube product manager, Andrey Doronichev in the demo even with his nose.

The launch of YouTube's new mobile Web site suggests that there is fierce competition between native applications and web-based applications, and that Apple and Google are the firm movers of these two types of applications. Google's iphone app has been blocked by Apple, and if Google develops browser-based services, no one's approval will be needed in the release.

Because YouTube's mobile site is as good as the native app, Google doesn't need to develop an iphone version of YouTube apps. In addition, compared with native applications, Google can quickly add new features to mobile sites and publish them to users immediately.
