YouTube on Mobile

I saw Google content chief David Eun at the Consumer Electronics Show, and he mentioned he was "spending a ton of time meeting with mobile" companies. Guess some of it paid off. YouTube just announced it will be more easily accessible on more kinds of phones and services.

YouTube wants to come at mobile in two ways. Certainly it wants any wireless device user to be able to watch YouTube videos over any network -- and that's not the case these days. That should be the easier goal. But it also wants to make it simple for anyone to shoot a video with a cell phone, press a button and have the video automatically load to YouTube's server. That one will be tricky, since it involves convincing device makers and cellular carriers to go along.
