From BBci (09/02/2007):

Mobile phone firm Vodafone is to enable users to access and update video website YouTube via their handsets, in its third internet tie-up this week.
Following similar deals with social networking website MySpace and auction site eBay, Vodafone customers will now be able to view and add videos.

The YouTube service will initially be available to Vodafone's UK customers before spreading to other countries.

Adding such interest services allows mobile phone firms to boost revenues.

Vodafone is Europe's largest mobile phone company, while YouTube was bought by search engine giant Google for $1.65bn (£883m) in October last year.

Hmmm, YouTube is crazy popular... gotta hand it to Vodafone, that's a good one.

It is really good seeing the mobile network operators beginning to promote use of the Internet via their networks :) . But the data tariffs are prohibitively expensive at the moment. What are Vodafone going to do about those? Chickens and Eggs?

Imagine downloading a few YouTube videos each day and seeing the bill :eek: for the data usage at the end of the month?

Isn't Flash 7 the only thing stopping youtube from working on any mobile / any network ?

I remember reading about a "workaround" where you could cut and paste youtube addresses into "Tinytube" and watch them on your mobile ? Couldn't get it to work personally - but some people did I recall

It would certainly be good to get youtube running 100% on a mobile though
