Orb is a multimedia streaming program that runs on a Windows PC. It downloads the videos to the PC then streams them to the tablet. Orb is not limited to just Youtube videos or streaming to tablets. It streams video, audio, and photos.

Mytube runs on the tablet. It allows you to search Youtube for videos. It buffers and plays videos as it downloads and saves them to the tablet. I use Mytube all the time. The videos are a much better quality than watching them directly on Youtube and can be viewed offline if you save them to the tablet.
