What's the point of youtube on ipod touch?

Question

I saw thhat the ipod touch has a youtube icon in a video. What is the point of this. Couldn't you just connect to the internet and go to youtube?

Answer 1

You can use your ipod to get online as long as there is a nearby wifi connection...thus eliminating the need for a computer.  Some people don't have their own personal computers.  If you got to an airport or something it is easier to get out a little ipod then a laptop etc etc.

Answer 2

The iPod Touch's Safari (the web browser) can't play flash applications. You tube videos are flash applications. It has a special category called you tube so you can watch you tube videos. Basically you can't watch you tube videos on safari so you must watch them on the you tube application.
