Yes, the 3rd party app that started tongues wagging months ago, Mobitubia, is now out, rivalling newcomer emTube, of course. It seems to be freeware, too, and has a sumptuous interface. Link, comments and screenshots below.
Here's Mobitubia's home page. The app seems very swish, I love the interface and the polish. Performance seems on a par with emTube, perhaps not surprisingly. On slower devices like the E61 it's almost essential to pause each clip and only play when it's fully downloaded.
There are some interesting settings to play with too, experimentation needed ("Max frame skip") Searching by YouTube ID is there on the rotating menu and you can also open Flash video clips from other Internet video sites (though see the restrictions mentioned on the Mobitubia blog/home page).
So - how many completely different ways can we access the full YouTube on a smartphone now? Err... I'm up to 4 on my Nokia N95 8GB 8-)
