Save YouTube videos into your iPod

After 4 years, my trusty 4th gen 40gb iPod (grayscale) died on me.  Thankfully, the Apple store is currently offering 10% off on new iPod’s if you recycle your old one…So I got the 6th gen 80gb Classic and I love it!

There are two things you’ll need to download YouTube videos.  I myself use these free apps:

1. Fast Video Download – a Firefox plugin to actually download the YouTube video.

2. iSquint – an app that I use to convert the .flv (Flash file) into MPEG4.

PC Users: You can use Videora iPod Converter.

For more details, you can read The Complete Guide to Converting Video to iPod Format on the iLounge website.

iPhone and Exchange

Interesting news from Apple (read: Steve Jobs): the iPhone now supports Microsoft Exchange. 

Pretty cool.  Too bad I’m stuck in a 2-year contract.  But it’s okay, as I’d rather wait for the nth generation of the iPhone that I know will have more features and will have been tried-and-tested.

Let’s see how this pans out with the BlackBerry fans (I’m one of them).  =0)
