How to Make YouTube Work on a Palm Treo 750
Watching YouTube videos can be an interesting pastime. The only downside to YouTube videos is that the streaming media files can seem to take forever to download, causing annoying pauses when you are watching the video. Unfortunately, you can only play the files stored on the YouTube servers; you are not allowed to download them. However, downloaders are available that can work around this restriction. When you use a cell phone to download YouTube, the problem is compounded by slow speeds. A more intelligent approach to watching YouTube videos on your Palm Treo 750 is to use a utility to download YouTube videos of your choice to your computer and then use Bluetooth or a USB cable to download these files to the Palm Treo 750.
