Yeah, their standard videos are such low resolution and quality it could
well be possible reasonably... And also:

Youtube does provide higher quality mp4 video nowadays; you can get at
the download links from eg. keepvid.com service. So if the mp4 files
downloadable are ones that the Glamo chip can decode, that's our
solution; just code a youtube viewer that shows the mp4 versions.
(Somebody with a Freerunner please feel free to verify if this works :)
