I've heard that on i{Thing} there is a quite nice YouTube application without
any 'Flash' support.  I imagine that it works somewhat similar to youtube_dl but
with a GUI and support for searching, etc.
I don't know of an open-source product like that.
Just saying that it's all possible without "real" 'Flash' support.
