While I don't agree with Apple's practices in this case, the NDA notice on the email is just from one of the individuals working in App Store Review. It's also the same signature that comes out with a lot of stock apple mails (eg bug report responses) http://daringfireball.net/2008/09/app_store_rejections has a good summary of events.

Feed YouTube hits Apple TV today, headed for the iPhone as well (engadget.com)

Filed under: Cellphones, Home Entertainment, Portable Audio, Portable Video

The wait is over, and you can finally train that Apple Remote of yours on videos of passable karaoke, mind numbing video blog confessions and the genius that is Daxflame. That's right, YouTube is hitting the Apple TV today, an announcement that is totally overshadowed by a little surprise Apple packed into the press release: YouTube is the iPhone mystery app. Sure, it might not be GPS or anything useful like that, but Apple seems to be aware of our addiction and is happy to oblige. YouTube videos can be viewed through an Apple-built application on the phone, and will be encoded in H.264 by YouTube to improve video quality and battery life on mobile devices. They'll have 10,000 videos ready by June 29th, and should complete transcoding the collection by this fall. Videos can be viewed over WiFi or EDGE, we don't want to even imagine the painful load times of the latter.
