Youtube for Symbian S60 Phones

When Apple released their iPhone they never forgot to mention that the iPhone was able to play YouTube videos. I think they mentioned it as a key feature and several television ads showed this feature as well.

If you do not own an Apple iPhone but another mobile phone, maybe like the Nokia N73 (my phone) or Nokia N95, you will be delighted to hear that a Symbian S60 application emTube brings YouTube to those phones as well.

It gets even better. The Nokia N95 has a special version of that application that uses the phones accelerometer to rotate the video on screen if you rotate the phone to change between portrait and landscape mode. The emTube applications makes it possible to play YouTube movies either from the local flash memory of the phone or by downloading / streaming videos to your phone instead.

Videos can be browsed on YouTube and several comfort settings, like configuring the number of search results or if you want to start the video manually or automatically, make emTube a wonderful application that looks really promising.

Update: emTube appears to be no longer available. The website states that the service will eventually be back, but there is no word on when that is going to happen, or for how long the notice has been posted on the homepage of the service.

I'm unfortunately not aware of any alternative to the service. What you can do however is convert videos you have on your PC into a format that the Symbian phone can play. While that is not as comfortable as watching the videos directly, it may at least give you an opportunity to watch videos at all on the phone.

We have uploaded the latest working version of emTube to our own server. You can download it with a click on the following download link: emTube_S60_3_0_v_1_0_10.zip

Note that we are not responsible for the application, and cannot guarantee its functionality. Since Symbian is as good as dead, it likely does not make a big difference anyway.

    If Nothing OS is nothing more that an overlay with Google still in the midst….then I ain’t interested.

    Apple was forced to add USB-C to a phone and the maccultists start talking about “revolution” and “paradigm shift” (as if USB phones had never come out before). It’s so ridiculous it’s reminiscent of comedians doing the “stepped on a water hose” stunt – that was at least somehow funny a hundred years ago.
    Reading this on a site that used to be a technical resource is especially ridiculous.
    How pathetic

    “An iPhone 15 with a USB-C port will mean more than you think”

    That Apple can finally stop hindering progress if spanked hard enough ?

    I’m thrilled to see Instagram taking steps to enhance the user experience with features like Live Activities. This update is a game-changer, especially for those who frequently upload content on the platform.

    The ability to track upload progress in the background is a simple yet incredibly useful addition. It not only keeps users informed about the status of their uploads but also allows for a more seamless experience on the platform. No more constantly checking if your post has successfully uploaded or worrying about interrupted uploads due to a weak signal.

    As an active Instagram user, this feature is a relief. It showcases Instagram’s commitment to improving user satisfaction and addressing common pain points. It’s all about making the platform more user-friendly, and this feature certainly accomplishes that.

    I can’t wait to try out Live Activities and enjoy a stress-free posting experience. Kudos to Instagram for continually innovating and making our social media lives easier!

    Keep up the great work, Instagram, and thanks to ghacks for keeping us in the loop with the latest tech updates!
