iPod Touch Youtube - limited results?

**Timbuk2** · 2010-06-12 15:42:56

If I search for videos on Youtube on my computer, for example a song, I get many results, sometimes including an 'official video' from the producers. If I search the same thing on my iPod Touch, many of the official versions don't appear. In fact, sometimes I can't even get the original version of the song - all that…

If I search for videos on Youtube on my computer, for example a song, I get many results, sometimes including an 'official video' from the producers.

If I search the same thing on my iPod Touch, many of the official versions don't appear. In fact, sometimes I can't even get the original version of the song - all that appears up is remixes and cover versions.

Take for example Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (link to youtube search) - the first result is an official video. On my iPod Touch, that doesn't appear up and all the substandard cover versions / remixes do.

Why is this? Is Apple blocking some music results to try and get me to buy songs off iTunes? (the irony is I bought the song later that day!)

It is the same internet connection as the computer uses, if that's relevant.
