It’s official, YouTube will be available on iPhone and Apple TV. This makes iPhone the very first mobile phone capable of playing back YouTube videos.
Some of you might be thinking, “does that mean iPhone can run Flash?” Well the answer is no. YouTube is currently converting its videos to H.264. By June 29, which is iPhone’s launch date, over 10,000 of YouTube’s videos will be available in H.264 format, ready to be watched on your spanking new iPhone. And by fall, most, if not all, of YouTube’s videos will be H.264-ready.
As for Apple TV users, a free software update is already available now using Apple TV’s built-in software update feature.

This is one of the most unique features on the iphone that no other phone has yet at least.H.264 format must be good if you can watch over 10,00 you tube videos! I can’t wait until this phone comes out!

Youtube videos are already available on any mobile that can play back 3gp content on m.youtube.com, the iphone isnt really the first mobile to do so.
