http://m.youtube.com Open for Business, Windows Mobile Left Out

Finally, YouTube just launched a new service optimized for mobile devices. The new YouTube Mobile site is mostly xHTML and requires a pretty beefed up data plan, it also supports uploading videos via MMS for vBloggers out there.

The protocol is RTSP 3gp streaming? Unfortunately, I tried both Windows Media Player and TCPMP got this message “RTSP protocol not supported”.

My little investigation shows:

The RTSP 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.

I believe the following phones will work, and this list may be much longer. Let me know in comments if your phone is supported and we’ll add it to the supported device list:
Samsung A900/A920/A940, SPH-A800, and Z107
Sanyo MM-5600/7400/8300/9000
Sony-Ericsson P900, w800/900i, etc.
Nokia 6620 and 6680
Nokia Series 60 (3230, 3600, 3650, 3660, 6260, 6600, 6620, 6630, 6670, 7610, 7650, N-Gage QD), Series 80 (Communicator 9300, 9500), Series 90 (7700, etc.)
Palm Treo 700p (650, 700w, 700wx and 700v not supported at this time.) [Tecnologyevangelist]

Kinoma Player allows to stream RSTP but only available for Palm powered Device. HTC Streaming Media Player works too.

I tried on my Sprint/Samsung A900M 3G phone, it works well. I was bout making a video to show the interface , but I found Gizmodo has posted the below video.
