YouTubeNow, you may get your fill of YouTube even without your PC, thanks to your mobile phones. Verizon Wireless and the famous video-sharing website has signed a deal that will extend the latter's coverage onto your phones.

Beginning December, the trial period will ensue, allowing you guys to post video clips more easily, of course, from your phone. So how does the deal go? Basically, VCat users paying US$ 15 a month to watch and download videos to their phones will have access to YouTube videos. These, however, are limited to only those approved by the site. Apart from this, users can also upload those short clips from the cellphones.

This is indeed progress as before, you had to submit your email address before being able to post content from mobile phones to the site. Now, you only need to use a five-digit short code. Says Verizon Wireless marketing director, Robin Chan, "The user-generated content space is a very important sector in media."

So there you go, guys. YouTube away!
