CBS wants you watching its shows — and, of course, the ads appear with those shows — anywhere, which is why it’s putting its programming on the iPhone. It’s like a network exclusive version of Hulu for your iPhone and …
Google first launched the YouTube Capture app for iPhone back in December. It allows you to record videos and instantly upload them to YouTube with nothing getting in your way. Today, though, Google has added support for the iPad and iPad mini to YouTube Capture. Users can now record videos on their iPad and then directly upload them to their YouTube channel right away.
The iPad version comes mixed in with the iPhone version, so there aren’t two separate apps here. This means that the iPad version can do the same things that iPhone users have been enjoying for a couple months now, including the ability to edit your videos right after shooting them, and then uploading their videos to social networks.
After filming a video, you can add different effects and edit your video by adding color correction, auto stabilization, trimming, and even music. You also have the choice of uploading your video as a private video or make it public. Plus, you can post it to Google+, Facebook, and Twitter all at once, cutting out many of the monotonous steps in the process.
The app recently updated to support 1080p recording, which is excellent, but if you’re connected to WiFi, be aware that uploading a 1080p video may be slow, and it could eat up your data plan if you’re not on an unlimited subscription. YouTube Capture is a free download, and the update is available now from the App Store.

CBS has been absent from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix for quite some time, although they recently joined Hulu in January. The network has never really bought into the whole streaming fad in the first place, which has no doubt made a few streaming customers upset, since CBS has a handful of good shows that are just dying to be watched over the internet. However, CBS has launched their own streaming app for iOS that gives you full episodes eight days after they’ve first aired.
While most primetime television shows will be available after eight days from its airing, daytime and late night programming will be available within 24 hours after the initial airing. The app will include shows like CSI, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and The Late Show with David Letterman.
The app will also include a feature called Live Social Feeds, which allow you to “join the conversation” about various CBS programs and you can read live feeds that are curated for each show. You can also check out the Primetime Schedule to find out what’s coming up on CBS and even set reminders for single episodes or special programming.
The app is only available for iOS devices, but CBS says that they’re planning versions for Android and Windows 8, although we’re not sure if that will include Windows Phone 8 as well, but there was definitely no mention of BlackBerry. The app is a free download, and it’s available now in the iTunes App Store.
