Is there any way to save a YouTube video to my hard drive so I can watch it offline?

Once you've got the FLV file, I think VLC will play it.

I'm fed up with at&t wireless, and I'm thinking about switching cell service providers. Verizon and Sprint are out because I need to use my personal phone overseas, so that leaves me with T-Mobile.

If you're planning on being on the Eastern Shore at all, Verizon was pretty much the only thing that worked when I was there. I got T-Mobile since that worked best at my new place in SF and I essentially couldn't use my phone until I moved. However, T-Mobile has been great to have here in France.

there's also this, which allows you to rip just audio too.

Hey. New board.

I use a program called "TubeSock" to download YouTube vids on my Mac. It will let you convert the files into a format that iTunes/iPods can read as well. Pretty cool.

Raq, if you want to that a lot (rip youtube) and have a pc, any video converter is really good software that will let you batch download and rip.

there is a free version:

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Does anyone have any recommendations for a phone/phone-type device for going on the internet, particularly look at checking email/gmail, and reading here and livejournal?

Also, in order to use the internet with a mobile device, do you pay for it with your phone plan, or do you have to have some other sort of plan for your home which you tap in to.

I am with t-mobile, but not averse to leaving for Verizon. I really like the Blackberry Pearl that is pink and available from verizon, but don't really know if it does any of these things!

Thanks

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

do you need a keyboard - or can you live without one? judging from my experience shopping for Beau's phone - if you don't HAVE to have a keyboard, you have a lot more options without one.
