Thanks marxian for the teaser pictures! 
It looks very promising.
Thanks!
But sorry if I ask, do you think it is really a good idea to break with the maemo design guidelines?
Why is the Button for the taskswitcher in the lower left instead of the usual corner?
Yes, grooveshark has this done before. But in my opinion with a very annoying result how you have to relearn every time how to use the application.

Just a quick update: The new version is being delayed by the fact that video playback does not work when using Qt Mobility. I have tried the QML video component, and I have also tried building my own player using the appropriate classes from QtMultimediaKit. Audio files work, but not video. So I'm now attempting to build a video player using Phonon. I now have video files playing, but the video frame is not visible inside QML. Hopefully I can get this working with some more work.
In the meantime, I have implemented some changes to the Video Info view, with a nice tab component that switches between 'Info', 'Comments' and 'Related Videos':

Simply love cuteTube for the ease with which I can download.
Needs 3 fixes urgently:
1. Option to resume download of only failed downloads. Presently option to resume downloads, starts the download of even those that were successfully downloaded, already.
2. Store list of downloaded, queued, cancelled downloads, in a local text file, to ensure smooth resumption, if I quit cuteTube, or when cuteTube crashes, when some videos were only partially downloaded.
3. The option to Resume downloads, does not report failure unless the window is reopened.
An enhancement, s'il vous plait:
Option to resize (stretch) / set bitrates, etc. of downloaded video for full screen viewing. Most videos aren't created for N900's 800 x 480 full screen.

Little thinking about buffering stream.
What has always bothered me when watching stream videos for years from web with different kind of players (flash,real,WMP etc.) is that do they have so called adaptive buffer? By this I mean that of course buffer would be first static (average of connection speed , different for wlan and 3g etc.) but after it first hits the wall it starts to correct itself and makes buffer ~20% bigger and so on. Also giving user useful info about this buffer and how it fills and not only showing some trivial loading circle is IMO vital for usage experience. This is just general aloud thinking not specified to this app only
IMO after all only quite small part of population that is able to connect internet is behind high speed internet connection.
