@marxian,
thanks for returning to this version of cutetube, I MUCH prefer standard, native, hildonized look and the way my phone operates. Add internal player (instead of invoking other app to do playback) with leaving option to use external one (like it is now) and it will be ultimate n900 youtube application.
One very minor cosmetic bug. Take a look at the "Settings" window: it shouldn`t be scrollable to left and right, only in up and down directions (too wide buttons?). Just like "Search" window.
