Default YouTube video?

If I'm not mistaken, that's showing YouTube videos, which answers a question I read somewhere about whether the Pre will play them out of the box. And it seems like a very nice, clean interface, at that.

Looks like they were taken in a conference room of sorts. the guys twitter account says he is from Cali. So i am going to guess they were taken there. If that helps at all.

It's the Youtube mobile page though...Doesn't confirm that it will play the videos.

Nice find! Do we think that these pics that are showing up are beta testers? The last one makes it look like he's had his Pre for a little while (bottom left of it looks a little scratched...?).

Syphon - What page are you referring to? Doesn't look like the Youtube mobile page as I see it on my Touch Pro (in Opera). Looks like a Pre application to me.

First of all, I think you're wrong, it appears to be redone in a Pre styled GUI and says Youtube in the status bar, so it seems to me that it's a Youtube app. (Though, I can't remember if the browser shows the page name or "Web" there.)

But secondly, Youtube Mobile uses "RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR".

And look, the Pre happens to support:

Audio Formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, QCELP, WAV
Video Formats: MPEG-4, H.263, H.264
Image Formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP

So, either way, it should be able to use Youtube Mobile even if there isn't a specific app.

Edit: Checked a couple videos, and the browser definitely only says "Web" in the status bar, so this is an application.

Yes the browser does show "Web" in the upper left corner, must be standalone Youtube app.

It is kinda small... but I still want it BADLY. And I think it will be totally fine.

I've actually created a pic that is more or less the same size as the Pre, I think. If you print it at 100% without stretching or zooming you can cut it out and get an idea of how big.

And yes... I am that pathetic and anxious that I did this.... but don't lie... you're printing it right now... aren't you?!

At first, I thought you were joking. But after taking a better look at the photo, I can see you are correct. Good job.

P.S. Happy B-day to the Goat...I can honestly say that I've never wished a Goat Happy B-day before.
