Just read the rumor and it appears you all are confirming it. Bloomberg says Apple is dropping support for YT on iOS 6. Are they nuts? Curious to see if 3rd party app will function. I hope Apple isn't planning on doing with YT what they did with Flash. I need to watch this one closely. I have too much invested in Apple right now for this bad decision to pull the rug out from under the stock, like what happened to me with Netflix. What do you think Mike? Are you concerned?
No need for an app, the Youtube videos play fine in Safari. (In fact I think the quality looks better!)

Just took some profits on a dozen shares. The stock is turning with this news. Hopefully, I won't have to sell any more.
Just can't look away for a minute on this stuff!

Good to hear. Hope the press gets this story straight. So far it looks like the stock is holding after dropping a little over a $ with this news. I was planning to sell this on the 8th anyway, a day ahead of the EX dividend day. Just caught me by surprise today. I think we're going to see some roller coaster rides for Apply in the next 2 months. Good opportunity to make some money.
Scott- does that recognize the 3D option? I know we can't see true 3D on the ipad but this may allow us to use anaglyph for 3D YT. We never could do that before on the ipad. The 3D options were disabled.
Gizmodo's take on why dumping you tube native app is a good thing for Apple and Google and us. Don't know if it is true or not.

Still struggling with the update download. Now my phone sees the update, but hangs on downloading it. Hmmm...
I just tried it on android app and no 3D button there either. Loging in on Google app just displays the same as the YT app. Might be able to do it with an independent browser like Firefox. Is there such a thing for mobile hardware?
What if you already have the Tom Tom APP on your phone? Is it different than the APP? Would it now be a waste of money to buy the APP?

Same thing here.
That was my next step, but I rebooted my iPhone and tried again and it worked. Both machines, iPhone and iPad are updated. Haven't seen anything other than you tube gone.
