We just tracked down an issue where H.264 video would play on the iPhone over WiFi but not over 3G. The problem turned out to be that the server emitted a Vary: User-Agent header as part of its mod_deflate handling. That header alone was causing the video to fail to play over 3G. I suspect that it may have been a problem on the 3G network itself rather than the iPhone. If you have similar head-scratching issues maybe this is the cause.
