Both Youtube and Google Voice saw updates today and are available in the market right now. Neither are huge, but the Youtube app did enable commenting, subscription viewing from the main page plus some other performance tweaks. The Google Voice update was just a bug fixer according to the description.
Update: Voice Search update also just hit the market. They improved connection errors and contact name recognition. (Cheers Octo!)
Quite the week for Google I’d say.
Cheers Kris and everyone else!
This little app called Youtube Remote snuck onto the market yesterday that turns your Android phone into a wireless controller for Youtube Leanback. All you have to do is sign-in to your Youtube account on both your phone and computer, Google TV, or other device and it will sync right up without hassle. From there, you can browse Leanback content on your phone while leaving video playing in full screen on your TV, select something new, pause/play/skip, and enjoy being lazy.
What I’m wondering now though, is if this new simple remote connection has to do with Gingerbread?
Cheers Zach!
