SkyFire, one of the popular server-based mobile browsers, has been updated recently to v1.5.

YouTube has been offering a mobile interface to access its video database for a while now, as well as a mobile application that was basically a hit-and-miss depending on the devices. The issue with the mobile website was that it couldn’t play the video, and you had to open it in RealPlayer and wait for [...]
