Submitted by matthewfortner on 03/30/2012 - 07:00Peter Rojas of gdgt brings up one of the best points I've seen this week. Where is the offline caching for popular video services?

Why shouldn't free services like YouTube and Vimeo offer offline viewing within their mobile apps where they can still deliver their advertising services?
