| Today you will be able to view virtually all of the videos on YouTube on your cell phone. YouTube has announced it is expanding its mobile service. Starting today, users equipped with the latest generation cell phones will be able to view the tens of millions of YouTube videos. In 2006 YouTube started their mobile service, however, only a few thousand clips were available for viewing. YouTube also announced that mobile access will have many of the same features such as its Web site which include the ability to rate videos and share clips with friends. The company estimates that more than 100 million devices worldwide should be able to access the expanded mobile service. The handsets must have streaming capability and have a 3G operator. YouTube, owned by Google, is trying to make it easier for people to upload videos from their phones with a new application that can be installed on some handsets. The "YouTube for Mobile" program initially will work on limited list of devices that include some Sony Ericsson and Nokia models. |  |
