Before they were uploading, now YouTubers are downloading

So far, YouTube cellphone users got just one option: Video uploading. The move was to pump YouTube user generated video contents, at a time where YouTube wasn’t Google propriety. And as it’s now effective, YouTube announces the reversed option: Video downloading.
If YouTube was closing the round without any or few partners like Universal, it would make the video-sharing web site a real video podcasting system. Users would create their channel, start videologging, and receive comments in video format. A kind of video conferencing on demand.
But, as the tactic would be to bring more announcers to rely on their services, the download service looks more like YouTube feeling it’s time to pour some copyright contents into its members cellphones. The company would create a highway for announcers and content publishers to reach million portable devices for nothing.
Although it’s premature to speculate on the broadcasting technology, Adobe Flash players are a lot less popular on cellphones. This could restrict the interoperability of video playing.

The Adobe Flash Lite 2.0 Player for mobile devices doesn’t use the embedded Sorenson and On2 video codecs found within the desktop Adobe Flash Player, but instead relies on whichever codecs the device itself has available. More info available with search term “‘flash lite’ ‘device video’.
