    It's good to see that the phone will handle that kind of usage (high network traffic and decoding h264).

    It does also make me wonder again why there's no 3G data capability, though; seems like they would have made that a priority, especially with this, unless this was ana afterthought.

    The speculation is that 3G is an expensive radio especially if you need both 3G and EDGE. Because 3G isn't widespread yet I'd assume they'd go 3G when it becomes available to more than a few citys.

    I'm not even sure if we get 3G, although I'd be very surprised if not.

    As for the decoding, it has to be able to decode large h.264 files since it's an iPod too. Yeah, Apple is really pushing that codec. Early on they tried to push it for mobile use and now with the iPod and iPhone I think they'll win out compared to WMV.

    I have to agree with you in that the added YouTube feature to the iPhone isn't that big of a deal to me. I just don't see the necessity of being able to watch YouTube on a mobile device. I own a video iPod now and I rarely use it for video as it is, let alone streaming video to an iPhone. This seems like more of a PR marketing push to tie relations with Google.
