YouTube on iPhone, Changing Video Format

Apple announced that YouTube videos will be available for download onto the upcoming new iPhone. Buried in the release was the fact that these videos won't be in the tried-and-true Flash format. Instead, YouTube is switching to the more-advanced H.264 format. YouTube expects all their videos to be converted to H.264 by the fall. What this means in terms of third-party downloading and conversion remains to be seen, but you won't need those Flash players anymore!
