YouTube
YouTube is the immensely popular video-sharing and viewing site where people post videos of every type and description, including funny cat tricks, blooper reels, TV snippets, short serial dramas, comedies, ads, musical performances, bizarre films…just about anything you can imagine, and plenty of things that you’ve never imagined.
Note
When viewed on the Web, YouTube requires the use of a technology called Flash to play videos. Early versions of the Android operating system do not play Flash (some other phones, notably the iPhone, ban Flash altogether). So YouTube uses a different format for videos destined for the YouTube app built into the Droid X. However, depending on your version of Android, you may be able to view videos using the Droid X’s built-in browser. To find out, head to www.youtube.com, open a video, and then tap its start control to play it. You can choose whether to play the video using the Droid X’s built-in YouTube player, or have your browser play it. If your Droid X doesn’t have the most updated version of Android—at least Version 2.2—and Flash Player, it can’t play the video.
To visit YouTube and search, watch, and share videos, launch the YouTube app in the Application Tray. You come to a page that’s basically a short list of the most popular YouTube videos—the most viewed videos, the most discussed videos, and the top-rated videos, as well as videos recommended for you, based on past videos you’ve watched
