Download Youtube Videos on Your iPhone

Posted in How-To by meebz. Published July 28th, 2009

MxTube and Pumpkin are names synonymous with the iPhone Dev scene. MxTube had all but disappeared, when Pumpkin, one of the contributing creators, reinvented and released an enhanced and integrated version of MxTube aptly named YourTube.

YourTube allows you to download YouTube videos on your iPhone directly from the YouTube iPhone app. This tweak adds additional download icons in the app where you can download, track progress and play downloaded videos.

This feature greatly benefits those who may want to watch YouTube videos and are lacking connection through edge or wifi in dead zones (subways, airplanes, trains, your mama’s house - where they still use dial up, etc) .

Available in Cydia Store (on Jailbroken iPhones) for $2.

Suck it SwirlyMMS and Apple

Apple and AT&T, fueling their latest cash cow, say that the iPhone 2G is incapable of sending and receiving MMS. Seemingly, the only option left for first generation users was SwirlyMMS*.

Now that MMS is finally free on the iPhone, it seems rather nonsensical to pay for it.

Thanks go out to geniusan for providing another free MMS solution for first generation iPhone users.
