YouTube unveils its own app for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Less than 48 hours before Apple debuts its new iPhone and lays out more details about iOS 6, YouTube released a new and improved app that can be downloaded to iPhones and iPod Touch devices from the App Store.

This is a significant change in YouTube distribution on iOS devices as an Apple-configured version of Google’s leading online video service has been pre-installed on iDevices since the original iPhone came out in 2007. Moving forward (at least in the near-to-mid-term), YouTube will only be available on new devices as an independent application.

We are playing around with the new application just like the rest of the world. Stay tuned for a hands-on look at the new YouTube application. In the meantime, check out what the official YouTube blog has to say about the new app.
