Gizmodo is reporting that the iPhone is able to play 1080P video. Which is frickin’ awesome cause on a three inch screen if you’re not seeing everything in 1080P you’ll see all kind of jaggies and and the background will look… Wait, wait that isn’t even close to true. There is absolutely no reason to watch 1080P on a screen as small as the iPhone. Most videophiles will tell you that 1080P isn’t really useful until you get to really large screens (50 inches and up).

But the iPhones ability to play 1080 P does have interesting ramifications if iTunes HD is on the way as rumored. Plus, as time goes by and the iPhone’s storage capacity increases being able to hook your iPhone to a TV for hi def playback would be a interesting option. Of course, if you want to do that you’ll need something special from Apple.
