[YouTube-API] Re: YouTube IFRAMES Broken on iPad/iPhone

It's still happening for me too - simple IFRAME code directly from a
YouTube.com page. You can see it in action here:

http://technabob.com/test.html

First video on the page is a YouTube IFRAME, second is a Vimeo IFRAME,
third is a differnt YouTube IFRAME, and the fourth is the old YouTube
embed code method.

Tested on both iPad (4.3) and iPhone (4.2.1).
