Uploading User Created Content is Two Clicks away for Helio users on YouTube. How will Apple counter?

Michael Goldstein of Stun Mobile Media and the USA Group have been following the race to make apps for cell phone services that simplify uploading user genereated content to sites like YouTube. “The competition is forcing the mobile phone carriers to roll out services that its subscribers only dreamed about”, said Mr. Michael Goldstein of Stun Mobile Media and USA Group. He added, “people had these things they wanted on their wish list.” Apple’s iphone is running behind , and is more costly than Helio. Verizon and t-mobile are going after the music segment, and beginning to go after YouTube users. (Helio uses Sprint mobile service for voice and data) Meanwhile, Apple’s iphone camera is a paltry 2 mega pixel, while manufactures of mobile phones like Samsung have already perfected 10 mega pixel mobile-cam video phones that arrived more than 1 year ago. It’s not the software problems that Apple needs to perfect, but the outdated hardware, that will keep the YouTube mobile-cam video user-created-content, away from a company not even offering video. The deal between AT&T and Apple, is great for the consumer because the other carriers and manufacturers will finally be forced to release technologically advanced mobile phones that were until now, only for the asian market. Faster data speeds and lower prices for data are the next tools to fight for subscribers, after the smoke clears from getting our attention about the hardware and features aspect of this game. It might be all about the hardware if WIFI continues to grow.

The two-click YouTube upload and a dedicated, exclusive YouTube app for Helio will happen soon.
