The announcement mentions that the iPhone does not support QuickTime. Is this a sign that QuickTime is on its way out?

Eventually. There is too much legacy code that runs on QT for it to deprecate now, but QT 7 was really the last full version. QT X has drastically reduced dev access to tools and as more media handling becomes browser centric and H.264 based, it isn't likely to go much further.
