Internet & Networking "Apple has touted new HTTP Live Streaming features of the iPhone OS 3.0 and the upcoming Snow Leopard version of Mac OS X - and it has submitted the spec to the IETF. Will it be enough to supplant Flash as the de facto standard for delivering live or on-demand streaming online?"

Doesn't it already work?

Can't we already stream a video using HTTP? I mean, you can embed a video, use a source URL like http://www.example.com/movie.wmv or http://www.example.com/movie.flv and the file plays as soon as it begins loading... Could someone clarify, please?
