    Help YouTube over wifi

    I've tried to watch video on YouTube through WiFi (both at home and at work - lunchtimes, obviously ;) ) and have found that the majority of videos bring an error message which reads "Sorry - unable to play video". If I turn off WiFi and try through 3G, they play fine... Does anyone know why...

    Show off the screen!

    Hi everyone. I have the Desire, and I'm loving it so far. Can anyone please tell me the best way to encode video so it looks it's best on the (amazing) screen?

    Hi from a new Android user

    Hi everyone! I've just got my first Android phone (HTC Desire), and so far I'm fairly happy.... just a few things I can't get my head around. I've used Symbian phones over the last few years, and they became more and more outdated as all my friends were getting iPhones, with all the apps. I can...
