South Korea's LG Electronics said Tuesday it has signed an agrement with YouTube, the world's biggest video-sharing website, to develop a mobile phone which can operate the service.

LG Electronics said the proposed model will enable users to upload, view and share video clips or user-created content (UCC) online freely without using computers.

"LG Electronics will unveil the mobile handset that fully supports the YouTube service for the first time in Europe in the second half of this year," the South Korean firm said in a statement.

YouTube is the world's most popular online video-sharing website (www.youtube.com) where computer users can upload, view and share video clips.

I think they should create an open platform, so the phone isn't locked to youtube.

In other words, LG will make a really bad phone, and slap the youtube logo on it.

Anyone remember the ROKR?

Um, that was a Motorola product, not LG.

Even if it is a halfway decent phone, I still think people will want the Iphone more because of the hype (even though its not available in Europe for a long while, if ever). It'll be interesting to find out how decent of a phone it is. You can't beat the Iphone's screen though: I played with one at an apple store and youtube videos look amazing on it!
