Curious what new apps are waiting in the wings for Windows Phone 7? Well, Microsoft's Windows Phone Channel over at YouTube might satisfy some of your curiosities. The Channel has a wide assortment of app previews and demos ranging from the Netflix Demo to a preview of the Windows Phone 7 game Paperball. You will also find short walk through videos for Windows Phone 7 features such as...
In addition to Netflix, Flixster, official Twitter and all those other apps demoed today by Microsoft, they also finally gave us a look at their official YouTube app, which will presumably be an optional download in the Marketplace. While you can't stream YouTube videos directly in Mobile Internet Explorer (not yet at least), when presented with a YouTube link a separate program...
Easily one of the biggest concerns about Windows Phone 7 is not so much the initial limitations, but rather how often Microsoft updates the OS to address those. Fact is, Microsoft does not have a track record to go by, leaving many potential power users here...skeptical.Today we have some good news in this regard as Microsoft has already updated the developer release of the OS via...
Google today took the lid of an update for its Windows Mobile YouTube app, taking it up to Version 2.4 and bringing a few new features online.There are now search suggestions (which you see above), along with "My Account" settings and a new homescreen that's redesigned for larger screens.Head on over to m.youtube.com/app to download the latest version.

Kinoma Play just got another update that fixes some nagging issues some of you were seeing previously. The Youtube function was having trouble playing the occasional video and has been fixed. There also have been a number of improvements made to the embedded Twitter app in Version 5.1.56, as well as to the App Store by Mobihand and a few of the advanced settings.There's more info about...
Though we'd be straining to tell you specifically what has changed with v2.23 since Google evidently doesn't believe in change logs or auto-updates via software (rolls eyes), we can tell you that this is a newer version from v2.09. Yep. That's why we get paid the big bucks here at WMExperts. Actually, some of the controls during play seemed to have changed a bit (shrunk down?) and there...
There is a lot of software out there claiming to make it easy to convert DVDs and videos for your WM phone. I have been looking for one for a long time with many disappointing results. Some I just could not get to work, others were very complicated or very touchy. While others simply could not deliver a video good enough to even watch on my small cell phone screen. So while...
Lordy knows what exactly has been updated with YouTube's dedicated video client, but it jumped from v2.0.2 to v2.0.9 sometime...recently.One obvious and welcome change is program compatibility – finally – with 320x320 devices (before it would rotate and crash on Treos), so that's pretty cool. We also imagine they've improved their streaming codecs and optimized the app a little. So if...
All of the sudden, it seems that Microsoft and YouTube are all buddy-buddy.Most of note for Windows Mobile users is that a native mobile app has finally been released. Just head to m.youtube.com in your favorite mobile browser and hit up the link therein.Also worth a mention is that YouTube, which as every smartphone owner knows uses Flash to feed its Web content, apparently is using...
So we all know and love the mobile version of YouTube, although as folks noted in the comments it doesn't necessarily work on every WinMo phone. Still, if it works for you, there are great features like the ability to log into your account and see your videos or favorites. If it's not working and you don't feel like installing the classic Windows Mobile YouTube hack, fear not, there...
Not everybody can have a Treo with a search bar right on the Today screen. And not everybody has Windows Mobile 6 yet, either, sadly enough. What to do? Perhaps take a peek at Ultimate Search, which puts a souped-up search bar on your today screen. Here's what's in the soup (does that metaphor even work?): Google Wikipedia Movies Local Dictionary YouTube Flickr Answers.com That...
Here's the original How-To: Full YouTube on Windows Mobile post. The thread to download the necessary files that zbop created is here. You'll need to be a registered member of the forums in order to download, I'd recommending starting that here. Hat tip to Mike over at Phone different for making the joke that inspired this video. As long as I'm referencing the iPhone, I should...
Bummer, YouTube finally gets around to launching a mobile version of their site that's free for anybody to use - http://m.youtube.com - and it won't work with Windows Mobile. As in, it won't work with the default Windows Media Player or even the fancypants CorePlayer. That's annoying. Look like you're still going to have to download that add-on to the venerable TCPMP to get your...
The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) has long been the most popular multiformat media player for mobile devices. Although many have migrated over to the for-pay Core Player, TCPMP still is around and still gets a lot of use from power users. Here's one more use: playing YouTube (or any other flash) videos. Plan on instability, thought, it's a v.02 release as of this writing. Also as...
A lot of mobile companies have been announcing "deals" so provide video on mobile devices. I put "deals" in quotes because what these "deals" usually amount to is "a new walled-garden service that you have to pay for because the tools to get it for free aren't easily available. Suck it, Net Neutrality for Mobile!" So when I see that software is becoming available that lets you bypass...
