image Popular video Web site YouTube.com is opening up its service to run on millions more phones which are capable of using high-speed wireless links, the company said on Thursday.

YouTube, a unit of Google Inc, says it is extending its service from a handful of phones to a broader range of devices used by 100 million consumers worldwide that rely on high-speed links to stream videos to mobile screens.

The Web video sensation now only provides a full mobile video service to users of Apple’s iPhone and to devices sold by Helio, a small U.S. wireless provider that targets young, tech-savvy consumers. A scaled-down version of YouTube with selected clips is also available to subscribers of Verizon Wireless and Vodafone.

The service will run on select devices from U.S.-based Motorola Inc, South Korea’s LG Electronics, Finland’s Nokia and Sony Ericsson, jointly owned by Japan’s Sony Corp and Sweden’s Ericsson.

YouTube for Mobile will be available in 17 countries and 11 languages. More details can be found on the YouTube for Mobile site at m.youtube.com/.
