There are no usable YouTube apps for the N8 and as Nokia saw fit to replace my original N900 for one, I would love to see CuteTube on it. If Qt is the principal language used, it shouldn't be too difficult or am I wrong?

I have tried porting cuteTube to Symbian (using my N8 for testing). When porting the Maemo 5 version (testing on Symbian pre-Anna), I experienced major buffering issues during video playback. There also seemed to be some memory leaks, as I would sometime get 'low memory' error messages and the UI would also start to lag following video playback.

When testing the Meego-Harmattan version on Symbian (using the leaked Belle release), there are no buffering issues, but the memory issues are still there, along with a few bugs in the behaviour of some the components.
