iPhone/iPad YouTube Fix :)

Hi Everyone,

There is a simple way to fix the buffer or loading time of YouTube using your iPhone/iPad. Like many from this discussion telling you to fix your DNS, settings etc. The problem is not on the hardware but how the app or browser accesses the video from YouTube. The default app for YouTube works lame because it is accessing the flash content on YouTube. This is why Steve Jobs is against Adobe, IMHO. To easily fix this; Open your safari browser on your iPhone/iPad and go to this link: " www.youtube.com/html5". Below you will find a text that says "*Join the HTML5 Trial*", click on that and that's all it takes to improve YouTube on the iPhone/iPad. This is done because HTML5 codes run faster on browsers supporting this since it eats less resource compared to other codes today. To be able to make this work. You have to reset/close safari (if ever it's open). Now save and open YouTube only in your mobile safari (iPhone/iPad). Do not use the app anymore since the setting of the default YouTube App still access the flash content (Maybe there will be a fix soon). Just access your YouTube in safari and you will see the difference 🙂
