iPhone to offer YouTube
Posted by: Vlad Balan in Apple
Apple announced that iPhone users will be able to enjoy YouTube content through a new Apple-designed application. The iPhone will wirelessly stream YouTube's content over Wi-Fi or EDGE networks and play it on iPhone's 3.5 inch display.
To achieve higher video quality and longer battery life on mobile devices, YouTube has begun encoding their videos in the advanced H.264 format, and iPhone will be the first mobile device to use the H.264-encoded videos. Over 10,000 videos will be available on June 29, and YouTube will be adding more each week until their full catalog of videos is available in the H.264 format this fall.
The combination of H.264-encoded videos plus iPhone’s built-in Wi-Fi networking, stunning 3.5 inch display, and custom YouTube application with its multi-touch user interface results in the best YouTube experience on any mobile device.
