DoubleTwist, the longtime project of the infamous Jon “DVD Jon” Lech Johansen, is finally available for download for Mac users.
DoubleTwist doubles (sorry for the pun) as an online service and an offline desktop application that can access, convert and transfer most media you throw at it. Plug in a supported device and the program will convert the file for that device and sync it automatically. You can also one-click upload to video and photo sharing sites such as YouTube, Flickr and Facebook.
Users can share and stream videos with other doubleTwist users and videos can be streamed from the service’s own Web site or right from inside the app.
There is no support for DRM-restricted files, and no way to strip the DRM but fortunately most labels and online stores are selling their music without DRM these days.
According to a Forum post over at doubleTwist:

Flickr has “radically overhauled” their mobile video-sharing features in an effort to make the popular video and photo sharing site more easy to use on your phone.
The completely “revamped” m.flickr.com is currently available to users of the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch but will soon be available to any smartphone using Firefox or Opera mobile browsers.
Flickr mobile is still being developed for Nokia N series owners as well as phones using the Android operating platform.
“More and more of our members are coming to Flickr on mobile devices, and this is a recognition of that change,” Flickr senior product manager Shanan Delp said.
