MyTube: YouTube widget
Interdimension Media has released MyTube, a Dashboard widget for Mac OS X that provides browsing, searching, viewing, and iPod exporting of YouTube videos. Features include full browsing/searching of YouTube content, fullscreen playback mode with 4 sizes, video scrubbing and keyboard controls, direct export to iTunes/iPod, and the ability to prevent screen dimming/screensaver during playback. MyTube is freeware, but the iTunes/iPod export feature is unlocked by donating $2 or more -- three free trial exports are included.
required donation?

Um, to the rest of the universe, this is known as crippleware. You get some of the functionality for free, and the rest upon payment of a fee to the developer. Even if it is just $2.

This is actually known as 'shareware', isn't it?

Is this be the first dashboard widget to be non free?

The widget is free, and works in its entirety as a fantastic browser and viewer without donating. A donation just unlocks a bonus feature (which is pretty awesome) as a thank you from the developer.
