YouTube Coming to Cell Phones
Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube, has hinted that his site will be coming to cell phones. Chen was speaking at a forum in Taipei, Taiwan when he told the crowd he expected much of the world to have access to YouTube on their mobile phones by next year.
Chen explained that the brevity of YouTube videos is perfect for commuters. He estimated that between 30 and 60 seconds is the ideal length for subway or bus rides while commuter train riders would digest up to 10 minute clips.Unfortunately, Chen didn't go into much detail about how or when YouTube would be available to the cell phone crowd. In the meantime, though, there are always sites like Movy.tv, a YouTube competitor aimed specifically at mobile phones. You can also try Orb's MyCast which allows you to stream any media from a PC to a smart phone -- including YouTube videos.
