This is cool beyond belief (thank you to O'Reilly Radar's Brady Forrest for writing about it). For example, here's a map showing the ridiculousness of US-style hub-and-spoke flying arrangements (unless you book enough in advance, or pay more, to get more direct routes), if you live in a remote place like Bloomington, Indiana (as yours truly do):
If you have used YouTube in the past, you'd probably find it neat, but wish the video quality is higher. Google has apparently given AppleTV and iPhone users access to higher-quality encoded videos; I mused (on my technical blog) whether the rest of us can get access to these videos as well. Go there, and if you also want this answered, press the Digg It button!
Oh, and if you want to upload your own videos, please also upload them to Revver? It is more sophisticated (allowing advertising-subsidized videos, which Google's YouTube still does not, which is preventing some commercial videos from being submitted), and most videos are available for download in high-quality Quicktime MPEG4.
