I think we’ve been waiting this for so long. YouTube is finally set to go fully mobile, meaning that it will be available to all mobile users, not only to the Verizon subscribers.
According to the company’s spokeperson, YouTube Mobile for Europe will be launched in May 2007, while the U.S. users will have to wait for another month to enjoy all the benefits of the popular service.
However, at least initialy, YouTube’s mobile service will not have all the videos from its large database. The service will go live with around 800 “editorial pick” videos to choose from.
The way I see it, when it comes to YouTube, it’s better something, than nothing. Plus, a demo site is already working, so don’t forget to check that out. (via: GigaOm)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
