YouTube's mobile Web site (m.youtube.com; in English only for now) is now a lot better than the Apple-created YouTube application that is installed on every iPhone/iPad.

This is at least what YouTube says after it has announced this week the overhaul of its mobile site. They talk about "the full YouTube experience."

As The New York Times wrote, "Google makes the iPhone YouTube app obsolete". In the meantime, YouTube explains in its blog, "We think this is a great improvement for users who want a more consistent YouTube across many devices, no matter where they are."

The promotional video, above, even demonstrates how easily you can put an icon/bookmark for the Web site on the home screen of the iPhone with a couple of quick clicks.

In other words, who needs phone apps anyway?
