Never mind the beta status - full YouTube on S60 is now free and a reality

Published by at

Software genius Samir must be burning the candle at both ends, with apps coming out of his ears. YTPlayer  (new screenshots below) is a first beta of a full YouTube searcher and player. And it works, within the beta limitations. If any programmer is worth a PayPal donation it's this guy. Go on, make his Christmas.

The app is packaged as a humble .SWF file at the moment and has to be launched from the Flash Lite 3 shell. Don't let that put you off though. Some screens:

Obviously, it's still very rough, but it shows what can be done and gives full YouTube for the very first time. And it's free and is promised to stay free etc.
