access to interact with the YouTube community whenever and wherever they go..This new application is much better than Google’s YouTube mobile site at m.youtube.com, as it allows its users to view YouTube videos, rate and comment upon them and upload newly recorded videos as well. Users will be able to share favorite videos with friends in the phone’s contact list or to add a video to their list of Favorites and create new video playlists. Uploaded videos can be given a title, description, tags, category and be set to public or private. Only Helio allows members to also geo-tag video uploads from their mobile device. Using Ocean's built-in GPS capabilities, members can send GPS coordinates with their video to track where they were when everything went down.
The application doesn't cost extra. You just need a Helio Ocean. There aren't that many Helio phones out there overall, about 140,000 as of the third quarter of this year. But with free features like optimized YouTube and MySpace applications and Buddy Beacon, the GPS friend finder, Helio is making good on its promise to turn the mobile phone into something more.
Designed to easily browse, search and view millions of YouTube videos, Helio's YouTube application also offers a simply organized interface where members can access their own video feeds including My Subscriptions, My Favorites, My Playlists, My Videos and Received Videos. Members can also check out YouTube videos in traditional categories like Most Viewed, Most Recent, Top Rated and Recently Featured.
