Youtube Mobile gets updated, everyone party!

If you’ve used the dedicated Youtube application for the Ocean at all today, you may have noticed that it was asking you to update to the newer 1.1 version. Oh, but what could be better in this so called new version you ask? How about lightning fast buffering speeds and improved quality? Why yes! Now you can watch this video with a buffering speed of less than 3 seconds, and improved streaming quality. Bravo, Helio. Bravo! As always, you can download the application by opening your Youtube app and downloading the update when it prompts you, or by heading to the Apps section of the WAP store on your device.
And don’t worry, for those of you with a different Helio device, you can still experience the fun through the http://m.youtube.com website.

I’m very excited about this… It only makes my breaktime at work more … breakish. Also gets me hyped up even more as to how newer devices will perform off the bat. O2 BABY! w00t!

I wish helio would add the ability to open youtube links from IM or emails in this app instead of the helio web browser. Now THAT would be an update.
Still, I am super excited to get the new youtube app.

I really wasn’t expecting very much from this update (considering how the update to Buddy Beacon turned out initially), but I must say that I’m HELLA impressed by how much they streamlined everything! Damn!

@ indigomontoya: You’ll be able to do that soon, maybe not on the Ocean per se…

I hope the next update has improved video quality.

This is a sweet update! It is so much faster now than it was before.
@ Rodin: At first I didn’t notice any improvement in video quality in the music video that I always watch but then I watched it again later and I noticed the quality was much better. So I don’t know.

Wow, thanks! Now they need to update the Garmin application to improve the maps (wrong directions), freezing issues and speed.

@ GargantulaKon: Way to derail a thread with a problem nobody’s heard of.
