YouTube has unveiled the slightly trippy Cosmic Panda (man), in an attempt to boost the experience of viewing and sharing videos, playlists and channels. The redesign appears to follow Gmail in presenting a slicker, modern take on interface design that also happens to be touch-friendly and therefore suitable for the huge number of iPads and other tablets being sold worldwide. The darker background behind videos ensures what you’re watching is more prominent, videos can be resized on-the-fly, and playlist thumbnails are helpfully displayed in a scrollable list underneath the main video. Additionally, the redesign offers more pages and superior editing tools for customising channels.
