Check it out, the iPhone will support YouTube. Or maybe it’s the other way around?
The iPhone was getting a lot of heat earlier this month when people realized it doesn’t support Flash. In fact, if that’s news to you, that might piss you off too. However, it seems the justification was battery life.
Thus, YouTube has begun converting over its video archives into an iPhone compatible format (h.264). What’s also interesting is that the smart folks at YouTube (Google) have managed to get their own little icon added to the iPhone. Damn!
Every video playing competitor to YouTube is in a world of hurt right now. I don’t know about you, but I am not expecting icons to appear on the iPhone from YouTube’s competitors (Break, iFilm, etc.) any time soon. So while it remains that you can’t play Flash games on your iPhone, YouTube will still be there for you during those lonely hours at work.
