YouTube Mobile Coming to Vodafone |
A version of YouTube mobile will soon be available to Vodafone customers in the U.K.
The YouTube mobile service for Vodafone will include a new selection of popular videos each day. Customers will be able to upload their own content from their mobile phones, forward links of videos to friends, and search through video content.
“Today’s announcement with YouTube further expands the range of Internet services we’re bringing to the mobile, introducing a seamless experience that allows customers to engage with user generated content on the move,” said Frank H.Rövekamp, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone. “Through attracting the most popular internet brands onto Vodafone mobile devices we will continue to ensure our customers can access and share the best entertainment anytime and anywhere.”
Vodafone has been on a spree of partnerships of late. Recent announcements include alliances with MySpace, eBay, and even a virtual island in Second Life. Vodafone partnered with Yahoo! in November as an exclusive advertising partner for the U.K.
The service will initially launch in the U.K. Customers will be able to sign up for the service directly from its Vodafone live! portal. Pricing details for the YouTube mobile service have not been released.
