with 1.1.4 I just clicked a link in safari and it took me straight to the youtube app and the video! Pretty cool, any other things that are new?

That used to work for me in 1.1.2 but I could not get it to work in 1.1.3

That has worked for me in the past. Links in email to youtube also work.

Yes, that's not a new feature; in cases where it doesn't work, I assume it's because you're getting linked to a video that hasn't been converted to h.264 yet.

yep always worked. if it doesn't, I guess it generally means that video hasn't been transcoded to H264

Works for links to Google maps, too.
