Here’s a post I’ve been meaning to write for a while: YouTube needs to go mobile.

I first thought of it during my last East Coast trip when I discovered how cool it was to have mobile video on my Treo. The available video was cool, but I really wanted my YouTube.

Now GigaOm reports, YouTube mobile is coming.

Much of YouTube is perfect for mobile — short and to the point clips.

The biggest drawback might be is that if unless you know exactly what you’re looking for, you might have to wade through a lot of crap to get to the good stuff. This isn’t a big deal when you’re on a desktop or laptop with broadband and a full screen, but on the tiny screen at slower speeds … could get frustrating.
