There been some speculation about a ‘mystery application’ on iPhone in recent weeks but now that mystery is solved: YouTube videos.
Apple is cranking up the hype machine in the run up to the US launch next week by announcing that iPhone owners will be able to watch YouTube content using a special player and in the higher quality H.264 codec. This is the same codec that YouTube uses for new videos, and for the older ones that need re-encoding.
The recently upgraded Apple TV offers streaming of H.264 YouTube videos too. iPhone owners will be able to stream over 10,000 YouTube videos on the June 29 launch day, using WiFi or the EDGE network.
Earlier in the week, the battery got juiced and now, with just a week to go, what other iPhone surprises will Apple drop?-Martin Lynch

Fix Old iPods With a Folded-Up Biz Card June 23, 2007
READ MORE iPod
We're always blathering about buying this and buying that, but why not just fix the iPod you have? That's what Instructables shows you how to do using a folded-up business card. This mod is so easy, just getting the iPod open is the hardest part.
It seems that over time, a springy piece of foam inside the iPod gets too flattened for certain contacts to touch each other, but you can wedge a folded-up business card inside and get it snugged up and working again. The resourceful handyman who offers this trick says he's already gotten two left-for-dead iPods working in just a few minutes. Neat. – Charlie White
