So, since the IPhone doesn't support Flash, how can they use Youtube? It must
be encoded in something else.

I guess I'll have to try making my own html5 video page and hit it from an
iphone to find out if it really can or can't do it. Youtube and Vimeo seem to
still have logic in place that assumes they need to shunt you to a helper app
when playing video in Safari on an iPhone.
At this point there really is nothing you can do in Flash that you can't do
in HTML/JS/CSS short of direct access to the local host resources like disk
storage, video cameras and such. I've heard they are working on the video input
bit.

I think that the HTML5 on YouTube is still a beta so the strange behaviors
regarding bouncing you around from program to program is probably temporary.
I feel like I've been fighting with Adobe for a million years. I think
HTML5 is our next and maybe last great hope to kill a proprietary system with
open standards and, almost automatically, find it supported on the OS of our
choice with the access technology we enjoy.
Happy Hacking,

Apple made it's own Youtube player which launches. I assume this player
uses the native video hardware decoder rather than software to play back the
video. Note that even if you opt-in for HTML5 video you still get shunted to
the youtube player. Vimeo bumps you to the QuickTime player. I didn't even know
there was a QT player on the iPhone.

Just curious, what software is running when you view a YouTube video on the
iPhone? I assumed it had to be some variety of Flash.

Interesting read about the lack of love between Apple and Adobe in relation
to Flash and why you'll never see flash on the ipod/iphone/ipad.
