Those of you that, for some reason, want to download YouTube clips straight on your iPhone or other iOS device can do so now officially with MiTube. I say officially as the application was previously available only in the Cydia store (under the name of MxTube) but has been approved by Apple and it is now found in the App Store.
MiTube will work with various iPhone models, the iPod touch and the iPad, so whatever iOS device you have you’ll be able to get MiTube immediately. The application comes free of charge and it’s compatible with iOS 4.0 devices too but does require iPhone OS 3.0 or later to work properly.
I haven’t tested MiTube myself since I rarely find myself in a situation where I’d need to have a saved YouTube video on hand, but the whole process should be pretty straightforward. Point the app to your favorite YouTube clips, the kind of content you’d always want to carry with you and access even if there’s no Wi-Fi or 3G coverage and MiTube will help you save them on your iOS device.
Naturally the application also lets you stream videos, so you don’t have to necessarily save every single one of your favorite YouTube movies. And since we’re talking about YouTube videos, make sure you check out our short, but growing collection of YouTube tech-related clips, and test MiTube on them.
As for the application itself, the word on the street is that it might get pulled from the App Store at any moment (as I am writing these lines the app is still available in iTunes) so grab it while you can. Otherwise you’ll have to jailbreak your iOS device and grab the other version from Cydia.
Did you get MiTube yet? How was your experience with it?
