Got a few minutes to kill waiting for a bus? Pop out your phone and watch videos of Mentos and Coke inspired artwork. Actually, even though YouTube has officially launched its service for mobile phones, that video's not available. YouTube Mobile is a streamlined version of YouTube made to run on mobile phones. Videos can be streamed by any phone capable of viewing RTSP/3GP files with H263/AMR.
When you first navigate to YouTube Mobile, you're greeted with a warning that you may want to upgrade to an unlimited data plan before using the data-intensive service. Currently only a limited number of videos are available, but you could always use a third party service like Orb to access the entire library of YouTube videos from your phone.

If you Google this...
Download Free HTC Streaming Media Player to play RTSP 3GP audio .
Follow the instructions...along with the program you have to add a few DLL files to your windows folder (don't overwrite anything) just add the DLL files that you don't receive a prompt..
everything else just say no.
I just click on the thumbnail for the video on http://m.youtube.com to play seemlessly with this player on my Palm Treo 700wx. It works great.
