YouTube on BlackBerry PlayBook

If you're one of the 11 or so people who bought a PlayBook, then you know that Google has changed the way YouTube works, so the native app no longer functions. But, don't despair, you can load up the Android version. The most recent version I've been able to get to work is 2.5.16, which is available as a .bar right here.

There are a couple of ways to sideload it, but personally, I use the BlackBerry Graphical Aid, since I used to make apps for the PlayBook, and I already have it installed. You'll have to put your PlayBook into development mode (under security in the settings) in order to install the .bar, but other than that, the process is pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy!
