YouTube is already available on phones since last week on http://m.youtube.com I wonder if they use the same site for the iPhone or if they will have a customized client. They really should release a Java client that plays videos directly from the site instead of having to deal with codecs playing correctly on every type of mobile device.
I think it will be a dedicated platform at least from the perspective that the videos are being encoded in H.264 according to the press release. I read somewhere else as well that now it looks like YouTube is going to have some videos in 3 different formats (Flash for the main website, 3gp for m.youtube.com, and H.264 for the iPhone).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
