YouTube has officially rolled out Leanback, a television-friendly interface first debuted during the Google TV's big unveiling. The whole interface works via a keyboard with arrow keys (no options to use the mouse unfortunately) letting you scroll through your feeds, recommendations, categories, playback options, and search bar. Videos take up the entire browser menu and will crank up the HD when available. Navigation is snappy and the suggestions are pretty accurate. Check out the a video of the Leanback features below:
On the handheld side, YouTube also released a new mobile site which touts more features to tailor to mobile users. The new features include a more touch-friendly UI, further incorporation of the main site's elements such as favorites and ratings and generally a much more responsive load times. The company promises to work at bringing more update parity across its desktop and portable sites. You can check out the promotional video below:
