How to display YouTube videos without exiting the application?

I have a button in my iPhone app which launches the iPhone YouTube player and plays a video. The code I use is this
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxx"]];
It works fine, but when I stop the video (or it ends) the context does not come back to the app from which I run YouTube. It just remains in YouTube or, if I force its closure, turns to the iPhone menu.
Is there any way to come back to the executing app?

Open iphone calendar app programmatically

I'd like to open the iphone calendar app programmatically from within my app. According to this post: How to open the iPhone calendar from within my app? it isn't possible (May 22 2010!). Maybe the ios sdk 4 or ios sdk 5 support such a feature?
It's not possible, except for using UIDocumentInteractionController with an .ical file, but that's pretty pointless as you could achieve the same (adding an event) by using Event Kit.
use this line to open ios calendar :
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"calshow://"]];
