LG - Image 1If you know your basic internet culture, you probably already know that the question on every other person's mind online is "what insanely innovative stiff will Google come up with next?" Today, we have the answer for you: Google-owned YouTube is coming to mobile phones soon.

The most popular video sharing site in the world has signed a deal with the fifth-largest mobile handset maker in the world today, LG Electronics of South Korea.

At the core of the agreement is the development of a mobile phone which can access the YouTube server and deliver streaming clips on the go. It's never been done or attempted before, but LG says a working design could be seen as early as this year. "LG Electronics will unveil a mobile handset that fully supports the YouTube service for the first time in Europe in the second half of this year," said the company in a statement.

Right now, YouTube has around 100 million users worldwide, driving up the demand to have it in every appropriate medium. It has some 70,000 user-created content which are readily accessible and are steadily on the rise.

the only reason for this is because youtube is currently converting the entire library to h.264 format. the iPhone and AppleTV can only view videos in this codec. so yes it is a limited selection at the moment but it is increasing daily as they get more done

Symbian OS on the n95 already as a section dedicated to youtube, and this can only get better with Nokia updates. As said above and like the iPhone there is a small collection but over time this will improve, and then to add to this there is http://m.youtube.com which is the mobile version of the site.



So where is this all going?



More revenue for Google and LG!
