If you’ve had a BlackBerry Storm for any decent amount of time you’ll know that Verizon Wireless likes to give you a little nudge*nudge and tap*tap, encouraging you to download the latest cool app to hit BlackBerry App World. How do they do this? Well by putting the application icon right there on your home screen.

Usually they do this to promote new, exciting apps to hit the market. But the most recent swicheroo? YouTube:
