Windows Phone 7 OEM’s are finally on a roll it seems. After yesterday’s release of the pretty cool Photogram application by Samsung, the new HTC Hub with weather Live Tile it’s now  a full blown YouTube application developed by HTC that has appeared in the market place. The application has similar functionality to HTC’s other YouTube apps on WM and Android and has the big advantage of allowing you to watch videos in HD even when connected to a cellular data network (unlike the Microsoft “plugin” that reverts back to crappy quality videos when not in Wifi). Let’s hope that LG and Samsung release a similar application or that an official YouTube app gets released for WP7 shortly.

Strangely the application is available in the music & video section of the marketplace and not the HTC section.
