Apple posts new iPhone/YouTube Ad

Have you been holding your breath, waiting for the latest iPhone commercial that debuted last night to appear on the Apple website? The new iPhone/YouTube ad, with all its doggy skate-boarding glory is now available for viewing on the Apple website. And as you might have guessed, it has no "2 year contract" wording on it.
Thanks Nick

I'm in the Dallas, Texas area and saw an iPhone ad on TV last night. It had the two year warranty text on it.

At the end of the ad online, it does say;
ONLY on the new AT&T.
Wouldn't "only" here mean that you can't use it with any other operator?

In all honesty, the ad doesn't really show much. I mean, it doesn't reveal the interface to YouTube, just what it would be like to browse your favorite clip. That, in itself, isn't much different from browsing your videos on the iPod portion of the phone. Not that I would expect it to be that much different anyway. But what about the social features like being able to comment, or rate, or view related, or flag as inappropriate, etc.?
Obviously, since they ARE favorites, the clips are being cached. So there is no indication of how fast (or slow) the app may operate. I'm not whining or complaining, I would do the same thing if I shot the commercial. At least it illustrates the "essence" of the app.
One thing worth considering though, is that your favorites are probably cached "permanently" (i.e.. not just for a session). After all, favorite videos don't change like favorite sites do. Why would you want to be forced to download that clip of "the Hoff" singing "Hooked on a Feeling" for the 50th time just b/c you really needed a laugh to get you through the rest of the day?

Well that answers the Mystery Icon question that everyone was going gaga over after the 1st round of iPhone commercials came out.
