MattPat writes "Much like the client currently available on the Apple TV, iPhone users will get a previously-unmentioned piece of functionality when the iPhone ships in 9 days: a native YouTube client.

Apple® today announced that iPhone(TM) users will be able to enjoy YouTube's originally-created content on their iPhones when they begin shipping on June 29. A new Apple-designed application on iPhone will wirelessly stream YouTube's content to iPhone over Wi-Fi or EDGE networks and play it on iPhone's stunning 3.5 inch display. ... "iPhone delivers the best YouTube mobile experience by far," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Now users can enjoy YouTube wherever they are — on their iPhone, on their Mac or on a widescreen TV in their living room with Apple TV."

Apple already has a QuickTour of the functionality on its website."

MattPat writes "Various news sources are reporting that Microsoft has announced that Windows Vista will be available for consumer purchase on January 30, 2007. This confirms predictions earlier this year that popped up when Amazon accidentally let the release date slip on their pre-order page. Vista will begin shipping to PC manufacturers before the end of this year, but for consumers, that Vista Christmas gift idea just isn't going to work out."
