YouTube available now for Apple TV, will be on iPhone when shipping

oooh man, i love apple's interface for youtube on the iPhone. It looks super slick.


And how is YouTube useless? Sharing video's with one another is a new and creative way to communicate, and YouTube is a revolution. Its a huge community that I am a proud member of.

JeffDM:
No worries. The point I was making is YouTube is one of the premier web 2.0 apps and Apple making it a built in app (as well as Google Maps and widgets) to the iPhone basically proves that web 2.0 apps via Safari will be 2nd class citizens.

"Not being able to watch youtube videos" is probably the average consumer's biggest problem with lack of Flash on the iPhone or lack of a browser on the AppleTV. This fixes that, although in a weird way (higher quality but less convenient).

Big question: If a Youtube video is embedded in a page, will iPhone launch the Youtube app when I click on it? Or is Youtube completely separate from the "web" now?

Anyway, in Apple's defense, they just made the lack of Flash ever so slightly more tolerable. They got YouTube to stop using Flash and use h.264 *just for Apple*. It seems like Apple is trying to avoid Flash at all costs. I don't think we'll ever see Flash on the iPhone now: Apple wants no part of it.

Afterschool, I'm sorry, I think I misread your post.

Afterschool (#14): I don't believe for a minute that "Web 2.0" apps are adequate substitutes for local apps. They are ideal for some uses, limited for some uses and completely inappropriate for other uses.

Ever notice they hang up the hone on Starbucks (the maps app)?
How rude. =P

Does this mean that Leopards Front Row will have YouTube support? I looked at Apple's Leopard site under Front Row and still no change to the screenshots. I hope they make this change, they have till October!

All of youtube on your iPhone? They better up that storage on that sucker then! Har har har.

Hello!! Apple? Is there anyone there?

I am European. You know, the guys next door who are always considered minor consumers of Apple products... Well, I am sitting here on what Apple seems to consider the "stone age" side of the Atlantic and I wonder...

I wonder why I cannot get an iPhone. Have we done something wrong? Don't you sell products in Europe? Don't you have a consumer base here? Why did you create a GSM phone (albeit EDGE) and release it in a country where GSM is no where nearly as popular as here?

I wonder about the AppleTV. Hello? I bought an AppleTV, put money and trust in Apple and now all that I get is YouTube videos on it?
Why on earth do you folks consider I bought an AppleTV which is only High Definition compatible?
To watch some college guy stunts "à là jackass"? Or maybe, just MAYBE, also to watch some real content (which, by the way, I would be more than glad to pay for)?

Seems to me Apple is getting quite some things wrong in the "overseas - rest of the world" deparment...
Not that I would buy an iPhone right away, but at least, a couple of months after the release of the AppleTV (and it's upgrade, don't get me started on that one...) I would like to know... Are you even REMOTELY considering to allow us, outside the US (I am also talking, I think, in behalf of the guys "upstars" (Canadians)), to purchase some of the "ZILLIONS" of movies and TV shows you made available in the US?

Apple is becoming a US centric company... Wonder if we will get Leopard same as everybody else, or we'll have to wait "a couple of quarters" to get that one too...

Sorry... But I had to write it somewhere...

YouTube on AppleTV BEFORE movies is like... Well... selling a car with plenty of window washing liquid but no gas tank...
Bring me useful stuff first...

Greetings from the stone age... Have to go... It is my turn to go hunt in the forest...

Just for the record:

1) Apple says develop Web 2.0 apps because they are just as good as normal apps.
2) YouTube is a premier Web 2.0 app.
3) YouTube is now a normal app on the iPhone.

Carry on.
