Standalone YouTube player Sprink removes the need for a browser

YouTube may be the most popular site for watching internet video the world has ever known. But there's sure a whole lot of wasted space on the web site. After all, if you're watching a 480 pixel or smaller video, why do you need all that white space around it?

Sprink is a standalone YouTube client for Windows Vista or Windows 7 that lets you search YouTube and watch videos in a browser that's not much larger than the video window. In other words, you can easily watch YouTube videos while making room on your desktop for other applications like a web browser or word processor.

The application is still in development, and the CoverFlow style feature for browsing through search results is a bit sluggish, at least on my netbook with its slowish 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor.
