- quizbiz 17y agoA side note: I wonder what affect the situation in Iran has had on actual mobile traffic in the middle east. Is it just the rare citizen journalist that managed to sneak a video online for the west to see, or is youtube and twitter experiencing exponential growth in traffic from the Middle East as well?
- mcav 17y agoWould be better if it could also upload to Facebook, Vimeo, etc.

- timdorr 17y agoNote that they don't point out how much of that 400% are 3GS videos. I'm willing to bet a lot of that has to do with the Iranian election protests. Also, how much of that was just people making test videos to make sure that the YouTube video upload feature works or out of excitement for a new toy? It will be interesting to see if this level maintains itself.

- saikat 17y agoThe author doesn't give numbers, but on the point of people just testing out their new phones, the author does qualify her correlation: "No doubt some of that 400 percent is due to users merely testing out the features on their new iPhones"
- jcl 17y agoAlso note that over the last few weeks T-Mobile has been rolling out the Android Cupcake upgrade, which adds video recording and instant YouTube uploading to all the G1 phones already out there.
