I have just upgraded the site to WordPress 2.5, and now having fun with that. It’s been a huge update. I found that it is absolutely amazing while using it. Upgrading is not that hard. And it seems all the existing plug-in can still be used. For readers, you may not notice the difference on the front page, but it definitely looks great in the admin panel.
When you watch YouTube on iPhone, it takes some time to download it. If you are on EDGE network, the video quality is lower. If you are in Wi-Fi, the video quality is higher. But if you are on GPRS network or roaming, you cannot watch YouTube.
With the recent new software MxTube, you can now download YouTube videos to iPhone first, and then watch it later. To install, find it from Installer’s “Multimedia” category.
In MxTube, type in the video keyword that you want to watch. Choose and select the video quality when prompted. I tested it even iPhone is on EDGE or GPRS connection, you can still choose the “higher YouTube video” quality to download.
It works pretty well during my test. Now it is good to watch YouTube anywhere if I don’t have internet connections. But sometimes the video cannot be downloaded completely. This will cause some error while playing the downloaded video.

Will Digg.com seriously affected by Mixx.com?

For having the same thing like Joost, it still have the content that everyone can watch anywhere in the world. Do BBC understand what is World Wide Web? We have so many video podcast we can choose.
And it does not work well with Windows. Now it only works with XP. Though we are running it under Windows XP with low security and no firewall open, and it appears to be all checked, but still asking us “Sorry, you still need something”. What else do we need, dear?
Let’s get back to Joost or any others . There are plenty of great internet program we can watch. Sorry that we don’t want to spend time for trying this player.
