LG Phones to Have Direct Access to YouTube

04 Jul, 2007, 12:21 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Services

LG Electronics has tied up with video sharing website, YouTube, to allow LG handset users to view videos and upload YouTube videos, directly on the website. LG's YouTube-enabled handsets will be available worldwide starting at end of this year.

The mobile handset and electronics manufacturing company also revealed that it will apply a new user interface for easily accessing and uploading video content for the upcoming YouTube-enabled handsets.

Steve Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for YouTube said, "People want to be able to capture interesting moments with their cell phones wherever they are and whenever they want. We’re excited to be partnering with LG to give people the opportunity to enjoy YouTube for watching and sharing those moments."

LG is already in a non exclusive agreement with YouTube's parent company, Google, to pre-install Google's services on its handsets, effective from March 2007. As a first step in this partnership, LG recently launched the LG-KS10, which features Google search, Gmail for mobile, and Google Maps for mobile.
