If you were one of the suckers people like me who lined up at 4:00 a.m. just to buy a cell phone last Friday, you are probably still stroking the glistening plastic of your new iPhone.

If you can tear yourself away from Super Monkey Ball for just a moment, you may be interested to learn that CBCnews.ca has just launched a special web site for iPhone users. Just point the Safari browser on your phone to cbc.ca/iphone and you can get the lastest news from CBC.

iPhone users have always been able to see the CBCnews web site, but it’s just been a minature display of the regular site desktop users see.

If, on the other hand, you’re a rational person and didn’t spend nearly $3,000 over a mandatory locked-in three year plan, you can see access CBCnews.ca on your cell phone by pointing your phone’s browser to m.cbc.ca.

YouTube has activated mobile access for its partners, so CBC Television’s YouTube clips are now available to be viewed on your mobile phone at m.youtube.com/cbc [punch that URL into your cell phone].

The site even checks with you to confirm that streaming video ain’t cheap in Canada (hmph) so be sure you want to stream.

So far, it’s confirmed to work on Rogers, Fido, not so much on Bell…

Any other reports?

Hat tip to Danny.
