Google Mobile has just got an upgraded feature in place for its users, in the form of a new YouTube channel, which sports a new look and more.

“By now, some of you may have noticed our new Google Mobile YouTube channel, with a fresh look that includes a video box that rotates among multiple axes (we love the Rubik’s Cube here at Google),” a recent post on Google Mobile Blog reads.

According to Google, the box can turn in many ways, and those who will access YouTube from their mobile phones should be able to enjoy all of them while they are searching for new videos.

“In our channel’s “featured” section, we highlight some of our mobile search capabilities -- like search by voice, sight, and location -- that really help you take advantage of your phone’s unique technology,” the development team notes.

Many mobile phone users might have not come across these search models until now, and Google is set to explain to them how things work via some new videos.

“To start with, check out our “Shoot This” series of videos for Google Goggles. Goggles can actually recognize much more than just bar codes and book covers, and these videos really let you take Goggles for a test drive,” Google continued.

The embedded annotations should offer users the possibility to easily navigate through videos through fast-forward or rewind.

Other features are also in place for mobile phone users, it seems: “When looking at “all apps,” you can not only check out any of our latest videos at a glance, but also quickly sort them by mobile platform or by app.”

Moreover, Google announced a series of other enhancements too, including the possibility to easily share videos via email or through popular social networking sites.

New videos should soon be added to the new Google Mobile YouTube channel.

All that users would need top to is to hit this link and subscribe to the channel. Those already subscribed to the old channel would have to subscribe to the new one separately.

Better late than never I suppose. It looks like Oracle has finally completed some copyright research and found out that Google’s Android operating system uses a little language called Java that they picked up with the Sun Microsystems purchase earlier this year. Oracle issued a press release saying that Google’s Android and the Dalvik Virtual Machine infringes on 7 US patents.

There is no word on the exact technical details of the patents, but Oracle did say that,

“Google has been aware of Sun’s patent portfolio, including the patents at issue, since the middle of this decade, when Google hired certain former Sun Java engineers.”

When developers and engineers fight over this intellectual property stuff, it sure does get ugly. Google has not had a chance to respond to the claims of the suit as they have not yet been served. This looks like it’s going to be one of those ugly, drawn-out intellectual property fights that will eventually become so confusing and expensive for both sides that it wasn’t really worth the fight to begin with.

There is not much more to say at this point as the story is developing so we will keep a look out on any official word from Google.
