Lots of talk recently about YouTube coming to cellphones. The New York Times reported a deal between Verizon and Google which will allow only videos that Verizon decides you want to see. The deal is short-term, which opens up the field to other carriers in the not-to-distant future.  I couldn't care less about getting YouTube on my phone, but you know what I would like to get? ZeFrank. His vlog posts are ideal - well-edited, thought-provoking, funny and presented in a very small package. Now that is something I'd like to be able to access while waiting for the dentist!
