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."

    Just dont let your wife drive? My dad gave me a good bit of advice when I started dating: "Never let a woman drive, women cant drive and they are all crazy and might decide to use the car as a tool to kill you."

    Fixed that for ya - and yes, that would be perfect for sitting in the passenger seat with the wife driving.
