Check Out MxTube: iPhone YouTube downloader!

If you’ve ever wanted to show a few YouTube videos on your iPhone but been scuppered by the lack of wireless connection, then MxTube might be the app for you. Currently in a very early stage of development, the software allows you to search for and then download video – in both normal and higher quality encoding – from YouTube direct to your iPhone (or iPod Touch), ready for offline viewing. Developed by a teenager called Max (whose site, http://mxweas.com/, appears to be down), you can install MxTube on a Jailbroken iPhone via Installer.app; it’s in the “recent additions” section.

Right now stability could do with some work – the download queue is getting regularly mentioned as a problem area, as is the way navigating out of the app during video playback is handled – but this could be a really useful program if you’re short on content or at the mercy of poor EDGE speeds.
