(InfoWorld) - Apple announced Wednesday that its promised software update to the Apple TV has been released; the update enables Apple TV users to watch video from the popular YouTube Web site. What's more, Apple revealed that when the iPhone ships on June 29, it will include a special YouTube viewing application too. YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the Web for watching user-generated video content; the site is owned by Google. The company has also reached content partnership deals with leading providers like CBS, BBC, Universal Music Group, and others. The new Apple TV software, available for download through the Apple TV's software update feature, enables users to navigate YouTube to look for videos; YouTube members can log in to their accounts on Apple TV as well. YouTube is in the process of encoding videos using H.264, the advanced video codec built into QuickTime 7 that enables higher-quality video to be streamed over the Internet at lower bit rates. The iPhone will be the first mobile device to use those H.264-encoded videos, according to Apple. More than 10,000 videos are expected to be available in H.264 format on June 29; YouTube will be adding more each week, and the company will have its full catalog available in H.264 by this fall. Last weekend, YouTube somewhat surreptitiously launched its Mobile site at m.youtube.com. The site is xHTML-optimized for mobile phones, which must have built-in video streaming capabilities (RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR) to take advantage of it. It also supports video uploading from mobile phones via MMS. Gadget site Gizmodo just spent some time testing out the new site using two 3G phones over Sprint's EVDO network. Among their findings (which they chronicled in their own video that's now live on their site): * Videos must still be uploaded from the phone via SMS, not the site itself * Streamed videos can't be downloaded and saved * The large video files will be both a big drain on battery life and too big for the iPhone's EDGE network.
