YouTube in your pocket, yes you can!
I'm on a media kick today, so be forwarned! I've got the SlingPlayer Mobile beta client for Windows Mobile 6 running as I write this (more to follow on that) and I also see that you can now play YouTube vids in TCPMP on your Windows Mobile device. Check SourceForge for the plug-in that lets you download and view YouTube and other FLV files right on your handheld without any conversion. If "Inside Edition" wasn't so engrossing right now on my T-Mobile Dash, I'd go check the plug-in; just can't tear myself away from this segment on a self-proclaimed exorcism minister. $42 million in donations and he claims no salary....OK, and I'm fake Steve Jobs. ;)
I hope they release a version of the plugin for the Palm OS version of TCPMP.

I've been watching YouTube videos for awhile now with Orb service. And it's free.

That's definitely a good option, but doesn't it require a constant data connection as well as your home PC powered on all the time?

I just downloaded and tried this on my Samsung Blackjack and it works great. Nice find.

Yes it does. I leave my home PC (with TV tuner) on all the time and stream television to my phone. I already had the equipment and couldn't see spending the money on the Slingbox.

Only for you Mark. Since you spilled the beans, now we have to turn it off for everyone! ;) Actually the CAPTCHA should be on, so I'll look into it and make sure it's working properly. Sorry; it's the price we pay to keep the SPAM down.
