YouTube Updates iOS App, Adds Send-to-TV Feature

YouTube updated its iOS app Thursday, adding the Send-to-TV feature it introduced for Android in November of last year.
With the update you can use your iOS device to send YouTube clips to Google TV, Xbox or PlayStation 3 and watch them on the big screen.
In January, we spoke to YouTube reps about the company's plans for TV, a future it feels will be smartphone-oriented, with your phone replacing your television remote.

We're trying to build this infrastructure that scales everywhere, from watching 1080p HD-quality video on your TV all the way down to using a dial-up modem in a developing country," YouTube's director of product management Shiva Rajaraman told Mashable in January. "We'd like to be all things video, and that means getting video into all places," he added.
Thursday’s iOS update also adds improved streaming over slow Wi-Fi connections, stability improvements, and the ability to record and upload video via YouTube Capture.
Curious how it works? Check out the video below for a quick demo of the Android version of the app.
