Think about the problems Skype is having. The killer is taking all those rich API's that you take for granted on the desktop and finding the equivalent on the mobile platform. J2ME is very immature and no doubt be the "OS" of choice for the YouTube team. Been there done that - the cross platform interoperability is a nightmare, as evidenced yesterday with Gmail for mobile. You simply have to test your brains out. Finally you have the advertising model to deal with.... the desktop "channel" is segmented from the "mobile channel" requiring multiple ad support infrastructures which are expensive to design and build. I'd say 14 months is about right. Now who will care by then I don't know. Having built apps for the desktop, server and mobile device I can tell you that moving YouTube to mobile will be no trivial.

You guys have to look down the road on this one! Content. Content. Who is google going to partner with? Who are the original content creators for mobile device and how do they plan to monetize their content? Do they create their own ad agency or partner with others? There are beginning to be agencies who work only online for video bloggers and advertisers. This is a great idea and there is a growing market. PostTroller.com is an example of a 50/50 ad share agency attempt. Personally that cut is not fair. 50 percent compared to what well established agents receive, 20 percent, is off balance. Though Postroller allows a 50/50 add share, they give video bloggers the control over what kind of ads will run in the adds. They believe their model is different than other video hosting sites because they want to be the middle man between the advertisers and the video bloggers. Google is thinking in the right direction.

Maybe when the speeds increase it will change, but people just don't use them here the way other countries do. It may be more of an international play for them. I think it's more a response to MySpace saying that they're going to do this soon so they're not considered yesterday's news in this area.

But then again- is there really demand for videos on cell phones? Not until the carriers get us to Japan/Finland speed. BTW- Revver isn't a competitor to YouTube. The only thing they have in common is video. It's like calling Visa a competitor to Walmart. Revver enables videos and pays creators. YouTube is a popular community in which users volunteer while the company profits selling ads. I thought 14 months sounded like ages too.
