YouTube Mobile has had a soft-launch

YouTube has silently launched their mobile version. A few months back I read a post somewhere that it is in the labs. I occassionally checked out http://m.youtube.com to find out if there was anything there only to find a YouTube logo. So the site exists!! Today was another day when I thought of checking it out to find YouTube mobile is live!!!!

I could navigate to the movie clip details. When I clicked on the "Watch" link, it opened Real Player on my Nokia E50 and tried to stream. But soon it timed out. I think it's the peak-hour EDGE connection that came into play. Will try to watch it again late night. Maybe I have some luck!!
