2010-10-21
hey guys it's brandon minute man from pocketnow.com a youtube plugin was just released for windows phone 7 devices it's available for free on the marketplace and it lets you watch youtube videos that you find on the web let's take a look so this is a very simple plugin it does exactly what you think it would do and let's demonstrate it here so i am going to go to pocket now calm did a miss press there so slide down i'm going to go to the full desktop view and show you a page with some videos in there so here we go to the desktop version of pocket now jump into landscape real quick and let it load up ok here we go and let's go to a post with a video such as this one jump right into that let's zoom in on the screen a little bit and so what we're going to see is a little play button kind of like you get on the iphone or an android that will then launch the YouTube player so we scroll down a little bit to a space where there should be a video and you can see that it's almost unloading there and there it is you get the thumbnail of the video and a play button if we hit play it will launch into the YouTube player works pretty fast would be nicer if it was in line but you know can have everything here quality is very very just probably do not HD quality there are no settings associated with this program so you can't change the quality but it looks like we're getting the 480 stream not the low end or not the high end right in the middle now there is an application associated with this so we swipe to the right and go down to the bottom you'd think that this will launch a windows phone seven style YouTube app and instead it's just a link to M youtube com which is ok I guess but I'll be nice if there's a dedicated app for Windows Phone 7 so a must-have plugin for this platform so that you can look at youtube videos while you're browsing the web it's available for free in the marketplace and that's it for now thanks for watching
