Mobile uploads to YouTube up 400 percent after iPhone 3GS launch
Mobile uploads to YouTube have increased by 400 percent since last Friday's release of the iPhone 3GS, Google announced Thursday. The device is the first iPhone with video capabilities and is able to upload videos directly to MobileMe or YouTube, even over the 3G network. With the ability to send videos to the Internet almost immediately, it's no surprise that users are taking the opportunity to upload videos on-the-spot from their iPhones. Mobile uploads to YouTube have been on the rise for many months already as more video-capable phones become available on the market. As recounted by Music Ally, mobile uploads have increased by 1,700 percent in the last six months, but the launch of the iPhone 3GS has made a noticeable contribution to that growth. No doubt some of that 400 percent is due to users merely testing out the features on their new iPhones, but it wouldn't be surprising to see many 3GS users continuing to upload videos even after the shininess wears off.
