YouTube, Google's mobile service, will receive another flavor soon as the parent company now prepares to make the online video sharing product accessible from any location through the mobile devices.
At this time, YouTube has an exclusive deal with Verizon that allows the mobile operator to offer several videos through its VCast service. This way, the customers of the company are able to view clips published on Google's YouTube directly from their handheld device.

Google Watch reported that YouTube Mobile is scheduled for June 2007, just after the deal with Verizon expires. "YouTube will publicly launch a version of its site for mobile users just as soon as its exclusive contract with Verizon expires", reports Katie Fehrenbacher at GigaOm.

"The new site is an experiment to understand user response, and will offer about 800 preselected clips. YouTube partnered with Verizon Wireless in November of last year and currently offers selected YouTube clips through its Verizon VCast service," the publication said.

It seems like Google tends to become a mobile company as more and more products are available through the handheld devices connected to the Internet. Earlier this day, Google announced a new version of its main search technology that is now able to provide better results for all the users accessing the product from their mobile phone. Recently, numerous speculations about a potential Google Phone prepared by the company were commented by the entire virtual world but the search giant's representatives denied them, sustaining Google is a software company and not a hardware one.

In January, Google made a partnership with Samsung to include multiple application developed by the company on their phones. A few weeks after the partnership, Google released mobile version for their Gmail, Google Maps and traffic statistics for AdWords.
