I'm definitely not a YouTube addict, but on occasion I do receive Text messages from friends telling me to check out the newest videos they've found, and in most cases I don't view the videos because I forget about them by the time I arrived home. But my forgetfulness is quickly becoming a thing of the past thanks to emTube Freeware, a Youtube video streaming and download application for Symbian S60 based cellular devices.
First off, I have to say that the program installed easily and I was ready to go in minutes.
Basically the program allows you to specify a video location and pull up that YouTube video or search for videos through the interface, the downloads were fast thanks to my 3G connection through AT&T and I found the video quality to be as good as expected with YouTube.
While video streaming was an option I found that downloading the videos to my device was easier, not to mention I could actually save the videos in my favorites folders, thus allowing me later access to the vids.
I particularly liked the ability to change between landscape and portrait modes thanks to the installed accelerometer support on the program.
I found the mute and search functions both worked really well and the thumbnails, while not perfect were still easy to focus on and pic my videos.
I've also included some examples of the emTube screens below:
Overall if you're looking to watch videos on the go, or if you simply want to store your favorite videos in an easily accessible location I would recomment emTube for all your YouTube Wireless needs.
