In a post on The Official YouTube Blog, the company announced the introduction of a new and improved YouTube Mobile website for Android-powered smartphones and the iPhone. The new version offers user several new cool features — many of which are based on HTML5 – such as more touch-friendly and faster interface, the ability to play high quality videos, and more.

According to YouTube, these are all the features offered by the new YouTube Mobile website:
- It’s really fast.
- The user interface incorporates larger, more touch-friendly elements, making it easier to access videos on the go.
- It incorporates the features and functionality you’ve come to expect from the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, the ability to designate “favorite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.
- As we make improvements to Youtube.com, you’ll see them quickly follow on our mobile site, unlike native apps which are not updated as frequently.
The new YouTube Mobile website was actually unveiled today in a private press event at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California. The revamped YouTube Mobile website will begin rolling out to users today. The website is initially being made available in English only. However, YouTube plans to add support for more languages in the near future.
The new YouTube Mobile website can be accessed by visiting m.youtube.com from your iPhone or Android-powered smartphone.
