 FWIW I still can't get the mp4 to stream rather than download.

My guess is that the proprietary player on the iPhone just buffers

That's how the iPhone is doing it (and the Flash player, and all the other network media players that support progressive downloads), yes. Obviously progressive downloads and streaming are very different things, but in the domain of Internet video, the former seem to be meeting a lot of users' requirements at the moment.
