Of course, it’ll probably be gone before long, just like that handy flashlight app, so grab it quick fast if you’re really into downloading YouTube videos, or if you just want to preserve this particular App Store approval oversight on your iPhone like a Jurassic period mosquito trapped in amber.

Update: As expected, Apple has yanked MiTube from the App Store.
