Will iPhone 4 be able to play HD podcasts?

I know it will support playback of HD video (at least from the camera). Does anyone know if it will support HD podcasts from iTunes? I hate having to download Diggnation in HD and in an iPhone size just to play it on my Mac and my phone.

Based off the supported formats on Apple's website, I'm tempted to say yes. But it would depend on the format you're playing it in.

Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
