... the ability to download youtube vidoes? i just find it a pain that you have to be connected to wifi just to watch the vids, when you could just copy them to the 8/16gb that the ipod has to offer. hope they add a feature like this with a future update.

Probably because it's likely not legal depending on what you want?

It's just like how youtube doesn't allow you to download straight from their site onto your computer. You still have to find a third party addon to download the videos. So it's probably not legal like the guy above said.

Is it using the cell phone internet service that comes with unlimited use with the required AT&T plan when you play them? I figured it was too slow of a connection for youtube without using full broadband internet trhough wifi.
