YouTube allowing uploads from mobile devices

You can now upload your homemade videos to YouTube using your mobile phone or PDA.

Just create a mobile profile on your YouTube site. That results in a unique email address, to which you send your videos for posting on the Web. Such ease of video uploading and sharing video clips will no doubt increase the number of spontaneous video moments that appear on the Web. Imagine how easy it would be to snap a video clip with your mobile phone, email it to YouTube, and see it online a few moments later.

YouTube insists that the service is free and anticipates a large response to the offering. Given the large number of videos made with digital cameras and mobile phones, the ease of uploading those videos to the Web for posting on YouTube will likely make sharing homemade videos even easier and more prevalent.
