iPhone's "Mystery App" Is H.264 YouTube

Posted by kdawson on from the could-be-the-killer dept.

Rebelgecko writes "It turns out the iPhone's mystery app is a custom YouTube viewer. The iPhone will play YouTube's videos using the H.264 codec(as will the AppleTV after an upgrade) for higher quality. From the look of it, it will take advantage of the iPhone's screen design and touch capabilities much more than watching videos in the iPhone's version of Safari would. The videos can be streamed via a Wi-Fi connection or the EDGE network."

    The real reason to not let the wife drive the car is not the stereotype of being poor drivers - it is the difference between the genders' behavior preferences in that women like to talk and look towards the person they're talking to. Men think that's confrontational and talk much more peacefully if they can look somewhere else. So if the husband is driving he gets a built in excuse to look somewhere else (out the front window) all the time while the wife not only gets to look at him but isn't offended that he isn't looking straight back.
