Flickr revamps mobile site with video function

Photo sharing site Flickr has finally revamped its mobile site to allow visitors to play videos via their phones.

The new functionality, based on the Yahoo Video platform, is initially only available to consumers accessing the site via an iPhone and iPod Touch, with wider handset roll-out planned in the near future.

Other updates to the site include the ability to add contacts, favourite images, and change privacy and permission settings.

This new Flickr mobile experience reflects the possibilities that today's advanced and rich mobile web has to offer.

Rival video sharing site YouTube launched on mobile in June 2007.
