According to GigaOM, YouTube already has plans in motion to bring a cellphone-friendly rendition of the video-browsing website to more mobiles once the firm's exclusivity agreement with Verizon comes to a close."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070329-youtube_mobile.jpg" /><br /><br />While I've only just started getting interested in the YouTube phenomenon, I've certainly seen a lot of questions on the forum on trying to view YouTube videos on Windows Mobile devices - in short, it's not possible without first transcoding the videos to a mobile friendly format. There's obviously a big demand for this service, and the faster it comes the happier everybody will be - anyone here in that category?

I'm totally in that category. I probably first logged onto Youtube a couple of months ago and LOVE it! Strange AND interesting things... I think it will be the next iTunes when redesign the interface and make it easier to search for certain materials.

The interface is horrible... C'mon guys, you have cash now... Hire someone to make it better!

I have a verizon phone (Samsung i730) and have never heard of this exclusivity. It probably isn't available for the pocketpc phones and is probably associated with vcast. My point is Verizon's exclusivity is excluding even it's own customers that probably pay the most for their mobile internet. Pay more, get less is a winning combination! :devilboy:

My Verizon phone gets YouTube? Nobody told me...
