Geek and gadget blogs alike have been abuzz over the last few days at the announcement that LG (which amazingly does actually stand for 'Life's Good') have signed a contract with YouTube (now owned by Google) to produce a 3G phone on which you can watch videos, but also record and share them with other YouTubers by uploading them directly onto the site.
The deal marks another alliance between LG and Google. Last month, LG began selling 3G phones with software pre-installed for using Google search, maps and Gmail.
Earlier this year, Apple caused a stir by making a deal with Google to deliver YouTube videos onto the iPhone. However, Apple’s failure to launch a 3G version of the phone, or release it outside of the United States, has enabled its competitors to improve their offerings before its worldwide release. Interestingly, the LG phone is due to be launched in Europe before the iPhone even gets here.
