iPhone gets YouTube app

Looks like YouTube is indeed headed to the iPhone, as Apple officially confirmed YouTube's presence as the twelfth bundled application.  The player uses the support originally intended for Apple.TV (to our knowledge, anyway) using h.264 streaming support.  YouTube has converted about 10,000 videos over for today's launch of YouTube on the AppleTV, and YouTube says they're planning to continue to convert videos to h.264 till their entire library plays on the AppleTV and iPhone, which should be complete in the fall.

Check out Apple's demo video of YouTube on the iPhone.
