While users can already upload videos to YouTube using mobile phones, there currently is no way to watch videos from YouTube by phone. That could all change within the next year, however. At the OgilvyOne Verge Digital Summit yesterday, YouTube founder Chad Hurley stated that by the end of 2007, YouTube would likely “have something on a mobile device.”
With the recent Google buyout of YouTube and Google becoming increasingly mobile, I daresay, we’ll start seeing YouTube on mobile devices sooner than year’s end 2007. At any rate, we’ll keep you posted as more information develops.
