We're happy to finally announce the release of watchlater!<p>Watchlater is an iPad app that does for video what Instapaper does for text.
You can save videos from over 20 popular video platforms for later watching,
powered by an innovative caching and transcoding technology and a smart
bookmarklet for your browser. Videos are stripped down to a clean and optimized view.
Watchlater also has full AirPlay support. The app is available on the App Store now:<p>http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/watchlaterapp/id423572879?mt=8<p>Here are some promotional codes:<p>7ATERNYPEEXT

HM7M9L3WRNRA<p>We've written a post about the process of creating watchlater and some more background
infos. Check out the post here.<p>http://9elements.com/io/?p=580<p>You can even use the app without an iPad to organize your videos:<p>http://watchlaterapp.com/welcome<p>We hope that we have created something useful for you, and you'll use the app as much
as we do. We're looking forward to your feedback and comments!
Just bought it, can't wait. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.<p>I love the IAP option to cache videos for offline viewing. You get X minutes to start, then you can buy more. It will transcode video so you can watch stuff that your iPad wouldn't normally play, and it downloads them for offline viewing. Plus, you're making money off of it so I know you'll be around.<p>My hat is off to you and I look forward to being your customer.
How does bookmarking items save them for me?<p>The copy on your website says watch videos anywhere, anytime - so if I go to a youtube video that's a half hour long and bookmark it, then go to watch the video later on when I'm on the subway (with no internet connection), I can view the video? (so it is cached on my iPad and if so how? I'm not an iOS developer but aren't there any storage limitations placed upon developers? (allowing apps to store tens of large videos seem like it would take up a lot of space))<p>If it is saved onto my iPad, I assume the video needs to be downloaded to the device - so I can't go to a lengthy vimeo video, bookmark it, then turn the device off or go offline?
Seems like this is gonna be fun competitive space.<p>I've seen <a href="http://vhx.tv" rel="nofollow">http://vhx.tv</a>, <a href="http://shelby.tv" rel="nofollow">http://shelby.tv</a>, and now WatchLater.<p>Am I missing anything?
If you are caching youtube videos, which looks like something <a href="http://www.filsh.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.filsh.net/</a> does be prepared to be pulled from the app store. Apps have tried and have been pulled before.
Looks good and I just signed up. Is there a list of the 20+video platforms available somewhere? Also, is there a chance you'll support mixergy (both free and paid accounts) in the future?
