Uploading a video to YouTube from iPhone 3GS

So this weekend, I finally have a video worthy to upload to YouTube - a video of a life-size Gundam in Japan!

Didn't really want to use the cellular network to upload it, so I waited till I got home. Once on my wi-fi network, I selected the video I wanted to upload. Put a title, description, and tags (for some reason, at least one tag is required). And then choose a category. And that's pretty much it (assuming you already have YouTube account info all set up).

The video is first compressed, and then uploaded. My clip which was 2 minutes long took about 4-5 minutes. Overall, it's easy, and pretty amazing! On a side note, the iPhone did start to get hot. I'm guessing compressing and uploading these videos take a lot of work =)

And here's the video for your enjoyment.
