iPhone and iPod Touch users have been able to enjoy YouTube videos, but users of other video enabled iPods have been left in the dark, so to speak. Tooble aims to change that with its downloadable software that will preview at the Macworld Expo today.
It is designed with ease of use in mind. The inexperienced user send a list of YouTube videos to the software, which will convert and send the video straight to your device.
Rumor has it there is a windows version on the way, which is in beta testing. Below is a screen shot of the software for the iPod:

Posted by ctitanic on 09/11/07 in Amtek, UMPC, Ultra Mobiles, YouTube
This is what the Amtek T700 should have been. A device with a good performance to be a VIA, that performs very well while playing videos, a device that even when it still warm it does not get really hot like the T700 did. You can read a review about this device that I wrote a while ago here, and enjoy this wonderful video review from ViaArena.
The Amtek T770 is a UMPC with a great set of speakers, highly accurate touch screen and a crisp 7 inch screen. This video shows you all of its features.
