In the iPhone's YouTube app, search for the following strings (and
capitalization matters):
UehcU5gsH3s
WraLTZOSHA4
EmY8-Rvx8mc
QF0JSfPrySg
jfm_wNJdev8
I don't know if these have an iPhone-capable version for them, but I
do know that searching by the video ID does work.
The way to write links properly for iPhone, btw, is to realize that
there is no such thing as an "embedded video player" on the iPhone.
This means that links must be made available instead of relying on
Flash (which the iPhone does not have) -- which, to be honest, I
prefer to see anyway (I don't need N instances of Flash starting on
any given page, it eats up RAM and it makes my browsers unstable). To
see the documentation on it -- which is supported by all current
browsers, and very likely many older ones though I'm not sure -- you
can get a free Apple Developer Connection account at
http://developer.apple.com/webapps/ . You can from there download
videos into iTunes, if you would prefer to not read through the full
printed documentation.
