Well folks, here it is! A WPF-based mini YouTube client app for Windows which brings video content from YouTube data servers right to your desktop. You must
be wondering what could be the best use of this little app when you can actually browse to the YouTube site itself and search/play the content right from your browser? Well consider a scenario where you are working on a PowerPoint or a Word document and you want to catch up on the highlights of the last night football match which you missed or just want to watch some random video while you are working on a document. Sprink fits-in these little scenarios extremely well because it enables you to run YouTube videos outside your browser.
This preview release is just a small fraction of what is going to come in the next couple of months.
