dont say anything to android and iphone users! they still think that you have to have an application for everything....
It's better than having a browser that - if it requires Flash - that might become outdated or a third party app that might get updates in lieu of an outdated browser that might not support HTML5 or Flash video fully.
Not having that as an option is pretty dumb. And if you don't want the app, don't install it nor use it. Root Explorer or Astro... viola. Uninstalled.

sure it's not like a real computer but having an application for Youtube is great since it means my phone doesn't slow down to snail pace...

For instance Nokia's definition of Navigation for the N900, seems to be pretty different than a lot of the users' definition. Maps is "functional" under a particular set of circumstances, but isn't very user friendly, or in fact very usable at times.

without an app, you have to (1. page) load the youtube site, then (2.) search for the clip you want to watch, then (3.) klick on the link of the clip and then it opens inside the browser (and a last klick to watch the clip in fullscreen). so, until the clip is playing you have 3 pages that has to be loaded, and this takes some time.
with an app, you start the app and type in the keywords you are searching for. now the app goes online and shows you the results. a single klick and the clip is opened in your player (not in the browser). This method is way more faster with less data consumption.
IMO an app for youtube is very usefull, especially for people who dont have a full flatrate for their device (i have just 300mb via 3g, after this its speed is going down to 2g speed; like many more in germany)

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I though most of the apps on maemo 5 could be easily ported to meego?

The N900 has a YouTube application, and the improved QtQuick/QML version is coming soon.

Hello,
like everyone here I am waiting for the N9 announcement. Before I choose this phone over an Android handset I'd like to know that there are some third party apps available. I am presuming nokia is launching this with a fully functional app for navigation and a media player...but how about an Office App, Ebook reader and Youtube client? How about third party games? I seriously don't want to have to wait around for things to be released like with the n900/
Theyr using the same developoment framework...
