Default Youtube HD playback

I am a new android/captivate buyer. Try as I might (googled for a few hours) I could not find anything on the Captivate and it's Hd playback. My question is:
Is there a way I can play Youtube HD on my Captivate via stream? (and NO I don't mean High Quality I mean straight up HD *720p*.).
I'm just mad the iphone 4 can and I can't find a way to do it on my captivate.
Thanks
Jose

I'm not sure if there is a way to do it or not but it may be worth pointing out that the captivate screen doesn't have the resolution to display 720p. I have heard that the iPhone 4 packs a very large number of pixels so 720p probably makes sense on that phone. I have also heard that the pixels are so small that they may not be entirely decernible to the human eye.

I would be interested in knowing if you do find a way to view 720p on the captivate. I'm more interested in downloading than viewing though.

Not sure about youtube HD but I have played 720P files on my Captivate with no problem whatsoever and it looks fantastic. The Captivate may not have a
720P resolution but it will still look better than 480P.

I totally agree. I watch podcasts (pardon the term) in 720p on the captivate and they are breathtaking. When I said 720p didn't make sense I was thinking more from the angle of the developer. As a user I would love to have the full selection of resolutions to choose from
