Where else can you get to see millions of videos with a variety of assortment than in YouTube? Apple supports this claim; therefore, it included an application specifically to cater to YouTube users and viewers. The YouTube app, as it was shown at the iPad launch, is something different from that of the iPhone. While it remains a fact that you can play and view videos on the YouTube app, this add-on for the iPad is uniquely altered to fit iPad’s physical specifications.
The YouTube application schematically platformed for iPad allows for a full-edge utilization of iPad’s exclusive features. YouTube videos can be viewed at its best with iPad’s HD screen. Viewing options are not limited; you can choose to either watch videos in portrait view (normal) or in landscape view (widescreen). Along with the user-friendly attribute of the iPad, YouTube videos are as well easy to access, navigate and watch. Tapping on a video of your choice lets you see the video automatically in full screen.
With iPad, your YouTube moments are transformed into a whole new different viewing experience, because iPad makes it a cinch to browse through your vast choices of various videos, from home videos, how-to videos, music videos, news, interviews to an episode from your favorite TV show. Whatever it is that you want to see, just a simple finger-touch on the search field will do, and then type a keyword on the onscreen keyboard that appears. You might want to watch that same video again sometime, so add it to your bookmarks. Watch videos which you’ve already seen over and over again by checking out your viewing history. YouTube’s layout on the iPad allows for an instant access to Featured, Related, Most Viewed and Top Rated videos. This makes a compact bookmark toolbar for easy access. In addition, you can also read comments and post your own, as well as rate videos. iPad remembers your account name and password so you don’t have to go through the trouble of signing up again and again each time you need to browse, comment and rate videos on YouTube.
Post those treasured videos to your Facebook and other similar accounts, or e-mail them to your friends and loved ones. Tap onto the Share button in any YouTube video page, and iPad automatically creates an e-mail message with a link to your chosen video in it. In this way, your friends and family don’t miss out on the funny and memorable moments you have had with YouTube. You can instantly share it with them.
Although the iPad is not capable of playing Adobe Flash video files (Similarly, it doesn’t work on the iPhone, too.), iPad’s YouTube app serves well to make possible video-watching and other YouTube tasks through this useful iPad application. Although this unplayable Flash delimits the iPad to many sites, for some, it doesn’t matter as long as YouTube is accessible. Indeed, Apple knows what you need and what you want, and it crosses possibilities to bring it forth and to your hands. It can be expected that sooner, Apple would consider Flash files in their programming.
