\cf3 \ul \ulc3 The Verge}})\uc0\u8232 \u8232 Is it a truce between Google and Apple? \'a0Or
\'96 just the opposite?\u8232 Youtube announced Tuesday it will launch a new app for iPhones
and the iPod Touch.\u8232 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-57510393-501465/youtube-launches-new-app-for-iphone-ipod-touch/"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 CBS news reports}} -- not so much.\uc0\u8232 \u8232
\b \'93The move to release an app ahead of Apple's press event and the imminent launch
of iOS 6 has sparked speculation that YouTube's parent company Google is making a preemptive
strike.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 The new iPhone5 is also
expected to be unveiled Wednesday.\u8232 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://wraltechwire.com/business/tech_wire/news/blogpost/11530521/"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 WRAL Techwire notes}}, this comes as the relationship between Apple and
Google has turned more sour. Google was on the outside looking in at new Apple devices.\uc0\u8232
\u8232 \b \'93The changes are being made because
Google Inc. and Apple Inc. didn't renew a five-year licensing agreement that established
YouTube's video service as one of the built-in applications in the operating system that
runs the iPhone and iPad.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 It\'92s a progression
of less cooperation that began before Steve Jobs\'92 death.\u8232 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9231172/Google_debuts_its_own_iOS_YouTube_app"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 Computerworld}} notes....\uc0\u8232
\u8232 \b \'93The ditching of YouTube was the second
departure of a major Google-based component from Apple's iPhone. Apple will also replace
Google Maps with its own mapping technology in iOS 6.\'94
\b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 Some say, this new healthy competition makes for a better product. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/11/3314384/youtube-app-iphone-ipod-touch-photos-video"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 The Verge tells us}} about
some notable differences in the new app.\uc0\u8232 \u8232
\b \'93It\'92s very fast. its completely native it is not just a webview and it uses the same
interface as google plus... It\'92s quite a change from the original YouTube app on
iOS which had the traditional iPhone layout.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 But {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/11/youtube-iphone-app-ads-exclamation-point/"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 TechCrunch notes}} another
change: YouTube videos now have pre-rolled advertisements on iDevices.\uc0\u8232 \u8232
\b \'93YouTube and its partners want to get paid for the videos that run through its app,
something they weren\'92t able to do through the Apple-built app that came pre-installed
with previous versions of iOS.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 Again, the iPhone 5
is expected to be unveiled Wednesday with a release date rumored at September 21st.\
