YouTube appears to be experimenting with a new video download facility, for the first time letting viewers download and take a piece of YouTube with them.  This new capability is their latest move in the highly competitive world of online video.

It’s a limited release at this stage, with the first YouTube channel to receive this attention being the official channel of president-elect Barack Obama.
