The key part here is that it is tailored for any kind of content as opposed to just text, everything you'd like to "view later".

Spool (http://getspool.com/) did this as well, with the twist that they actually scrape content (videos and all) to save to your devices to view offline. For some reason it doesn't seem like Spool ever took off.



Spool is still here, and still transcoding and caching videos. We got some new stuff coming down the pipe, so stay tuned.


The Pocket homepage suggests the same functionality:

"If it's in Pocket, it's on your phone, tablet or computer. You don't even need an Internet connection."


Saving videos only saves the url

Interesting, I imagine that would work great on Android devices where it could have a service running in the background to keep your Pocket synced.
