LG and YouTube have announced an agreement to provide YouTube services on some new LG mobile handsets.
LG will apply a new YouTube interface to its phones allowing users to view and share videos with ease. In March this year, LG began shipping some phones with other Google services including search, mail and maps.
Dr Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said:
This new service will connect people like never before. For the first time, LG customers will be able to film, upload and view videos on YouTube using their mobile phone just as they would be able to from their home computer.
Steve Chen of YouTube was equally excited about the agreement, stating that it was an opportunity for people to be able to share interesting moments captured anytime anywhere on their mobile phones.
LG’s YouTube handsets should be available by the end of the year. Recently Casio and YouTube also partnered to deliver a YouTube Capture Mode on new EXILIM digital cameras.
