Apple’s approach to video embeds on the iPhone is surprisingly inconsistent. YouTube embeds display a black box with the word “Watch” in the middle. All other iPhone compatible embeds, like the two blip.tv videos seen here, show a big round play button on top of a nice gradient. When you click on a YouTube embed, you’re taken out of the browser and into the YouTube app. When the video ends, you remain in the YouTube app. If you want to return to the page you were browsing, you must exit the YouTube app and relaunch Safari. When you play all other videos, you play in the default iPod video player and immediately return the the page you were on as soon as the video ends.
