Gridlock has released Tooble, a free application for the Mac which puts YouTube videos on iPods. It lets you take videos from the video sharing site and download it for playing on video iPods, iPhones and Apple TVs.
Tooble’s interface lets you browse and search YouTube for content and then automatically download the video, convert it to MP4, and then automatically import it to any of the devices mentioned above.
Tooble takes advantage of Google’s gData and the YouTube API (application programming interface) to communicate directly with YouTube. This means it also gives users access to Favorites saved in a YouTube Account.
The software was developed by 17-year-old Jesse Youngblood, a senior at the Connecticut private high school of Cheshire Academy. An upgraded version of the program which works with other popular flash video sites such as MetaCafe is slated to be released later this year.
The “Macsimum MWSF 2007 Coupon Book” is available for download. You can find it here and print it as a PDF. It has discounts, special offers and promotions in conjunction with the upersonal computers oming Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
