The N8 has no youtube app that I can find as of november 2010.

I tried installing the Nokia X6 youtube app - failed.

Ovi store has no interested results when searching for 'youtube'.

Off topic... but I was embarrassed the other day - when I was trying to show my professor a video on youtube - I was browsing the extremely tiny mobile web page... hitting the wrong buttons, trying to get the video to play....  eventully a classmate said 'dont worry, you can use my iphone'  he had the youtube video up and playing perfectly in 2 seconds.   EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED after that happened -  hence i started searching the web and found this forum post.

No youtube for N8 Sad

Hi

In the meantime i found a mobile youtube website http://m.youtube.com which fits nicely on the N8 screen
All videos started from this site are perfectly played by the media player on the N8.
For me this is a satisfactory workaround. Make sure you select Video Quality HQ (not Normal) on YouTube.

Hope this helps
