Apple drops YouTube as pre-loaded app in iOS 6 system
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/st...ube/56831442/1Apple has eliminated Google's YouTube as a pre-loaded app on its mobile devices as the battle for users escalates between the two technology giants.
When Apple released the test version of its upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 6, for its iPhone and iPad Monday, YouTube, one of the most popular default apps on the devices, was not in the lineup.
Apple says the final version of iOS 6 will be released in the fall.
"Our license to include the YouTube app in iOS has ended," says Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller. "Customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser, and Google is working on a new YouTube app to be on the App Store."
Good! I hope they keep going that route... that way they will go back to the popularity they had in the mid-90ies (= None)

One more reason to exercise the Samsung Option
I would hardly miss it as I usually access YouTube via Safari.Originally Posted by Silent Reader
Or just Android in general, went with HTC myself. Windows Phone seems to be cleaning itself up these days too.
Way to go Apple - the customers are going to love you for it.
Ah Safari, proof that Apple knows how to make mediocre software...
Apparently they are ditching Google maps as well and using their own mapping service. Yeah, we'll see how that works out for them.Yep, my next phone will probably be a Galaxy S3. Already waiting for my Google Nexus.I will wait and see what the iPhone 5 brings to the table, but I suspect it won't be as good as the competition, and that's probably the first time I've felt that way.
For old fags like me, the screen size is a big killer. The S3 looks darn good in comparison.
I don't have huge hands but definitely enjoy the larger screen size, the modern phones are pretty slim with them too.
The iPhone 4 weighs like a brick compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Side by side it actually makes the iPhone 4 look outdated and old. Some of the new tablets as well are starting to make Apple's design look dated.
I have the HTC Evo LTE, which is comparable in size (4.7 inch screen) to the S3 but build quality is a bit nicer. Apple sources Samsung for a lot of parts, they'll be shelling out a chunk of cash to them for the 5. I never understood Apple not even having expandable storage via MicroSD. On android you can lighten up the phone by having your apps on that external. A new Iphone release will quickly have dated HW, since it's only one company making it one phone, every two quarters or so. Software saves them though, it's basic and constraining to me but for others it's more than fine.
In the end it's a gawd dayum phone, so yeah. I find the custom ROM/App/Theme development for Android to be really cool though, broke open my phone in that sense after having it a bit.
You make me Sikh

I think Apple reached a new low already with this kind of crap during the Apple vs Samsung trial:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/08/apple-v-samsung-legendary-mac-designer-testifies-about-copied-icons/SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA—Apple swore in a former employee to make its case today: legendary icon designer Susan Kare, who testified that in her opinion, Samsung's screens and icons were illegal knockoffs of Apple designs
....
Kare worked at Apple in the early 1980s and designed some of the early Macintosh icons, which have become legendary user interface graphics. Since 1986, Kare has run her own firm, where she has done design work for other big tech companies like Microsoft and Autodesk, but none for Apple.
Now, Apple has hired its former employee to study its competitors' phones and testify as an expert witness. Kare's conclusion was unsurprising: she found that the icon styles—like the clock and the green phone icons on the Fascinate, are "substantially similar" to Apple's D'305 icons, and thus the iPhone. She also said that the too-similar graphics could confuse consumers—and told a story about how that happened to her.
"When I visited the law firm to see about being an expert witness in this case, a number of [phones] were on a table," Kare said. "I reached for an iPhone because I could see the screen, to make a point about the user interface, the graphics—and I was holding a Samsung phone. I usually think of myself as someone who's pretty granular in looking at graphics, and I mistook one for the other."
Before ending her direct testimony, Kare spoke about a slide that "just by having the batch of icons not being a consistent shape, it looks different. There's more background."
So is she the one who came up with the genius "drag your diskette/floppy/CD to the Trash to Eject it?"
If so, FUCK YOU
