From the whole is greater than the sum of its parts department, here’s some recent online video news.

Yeah, I’m tired of hearing about the iPhone too. Apple is initially offering a limited amount of YouTube videos as they have them reformatted for mobile devices.
LG to Launch YouTube Phone TechCrunchThe LG Phone could become a mobile blogger’s best friend. It will shoot video in YouTube’s format and allow you to upload it directly to their site.
Hands on with Casio’s YouTube Camera PC World
The camera will also shoot video in YouTube’s format. This makes for wicked fast uploads to their site.
So it would appear that, if Google has its druthers, YouTube will be the Intel Inside of mobile devices. Once the mobile network is lined up, do you think Google will leverage its ad networks against them?
As I’ve said before, the tools are easy, the content is hard. So with all this content coming in, we’ll see businesses helping it along.

I have a feeling that in a few years there will be less personal content online (amatuer videos via YouTube) and more commercialized media. However as the Internet so BIG, quality will go up on both ends. I see it as a good thing.
