New, expanded mobile YouTube site?

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but it seems as if YouTube's mobile site will now be greatly expanded:

http://www.youtube.com/mobile

They make it seem like most videos (as opposed to the small amount from earlier) will now be accessible from m.youtube.com. Anyone else heard of this?

I don't know about all dat ... I DO know, however, how long it took to get the real web youtube working on my phone and that it aint working now. I get a, " youtube swf args not found" window on my screen now. I got a buddy with the same problem. soft reset ... battery removal ... nothing. just suddenly stopped working. ... ? ....

The FlashVideoBundle has been upgraded to fix the problem.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't relate at all to the topic of this thread. The point now is that you don't need to jump through all these hoops to get access to almost all youtube vids-- just go to m.youtube.com. Anyone else try this?

As I understand (and I haven't gone to the mobile site in a while) there is no way to play the vids. IIRC it would try to play the vids in WMP...but it wouldn't work.

So the point now is that with FlashVideoBundle you can play the vids at YouTube and a handful of other sites.

And there really are no hoops to jump through...FlashVideoBundle runs in the background so you just tap on the video you want to play and it'll start playing in TCPMP.
