"This is tested and working on Treo 700p phones. We don't have it working on Windows Mobile devices yet as we have not yet found a 3GP player which supports RTSP (alas, CorePlayer won't work). I believe this will work on Nokia smart phones, but it's as of yet untested since we don't have a Nokia phone to try it on. If anyone can give us some help there it would be appreciated."
Graphic from solsie.comYouTube mobile has soft launched using the address
http://m.youtube.com. Since it streams 3GP files using the RTSP protocol, it doesn't yet support Windows Mobile devices. The above linked post to
Technology Evangelist shows a list of currently supported devices. The site is nice and clean but you just can't watch the videos...yet. I tried using the similar TCPMP player and received an error message that the RTSP protocol was not supported. If you're wondering what it looks like after a successful launch, check out this video
posted on Gizmodo. If you find a way to play the stream, please post it! Until then, it looks like
downloading the Flash ".flv" file is our only option.
