Does this mean Google is going to open up YouTube Mobile so Apple can serve iAds on the videos there? Maybe Apple should complain to the FTC, too.

Before you ask, HD playback on Android is relevant as for example Archos media players have supported HDMI output to a HDTV for nearly 2 years. As more and more phones are coming with HDMI output. As there are Android tablets coming with HD resolution screens. As there are Android powered set-top-boxes (not only Google TV boxes) coming with HDMI outputs. As all new Android devices come with ARM processors that come with DSP and GPU that hardware accelerate up to 720p and even 1080p video playback, thus, logically, Youtube HD should be supported on ALL Android devices. Is it going to be?

So the m.youtube.com site basically links to .mp4 streams that are then played by the Youtube app media player app on the phone?

My questions are these:

Any way for the user to access full 480p, 720p, 1080p qualities on the phone?
Any way for the user to launch videos from m.youtube.com in a totally uncontrolled media player app on the device, and thus be able to stream whichever resolution and bitrate the user wants?
It’s being said that this upgrade introduces HTML5 video tag videos in m.youtube.com but how is that working? How come does the video open up in Youtube media player anyways? Or do the newest versions of Android and iOS come with HTML5 video tag playback support as somekind of full screen media player app in the device?

For more than a year, users of the Archos media tablets have been able to stream 720p Youtube on their devices, but using the tricks implemented by Archos kind of unofficially. My question within Android, all Android devices, does Google support delivery of 480p, 720p and 1080p qualities and if not currently in the Youtube player app, then in which app and when? Or when will there be Youtube player apps that support such up to HD quality streaming in Android?
