YouTube is being reprogrammed for the iPhone and iPad amid the latest fallout from the growing hostility between Google and Apple.
The changes are being made because Google and Apple didn't renew a fiveyear 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.
YouTube is being bumped from the menu of pre-installed apps on the next version of Apple's mobile operating system, or iOS, which could be released as early as today when the latest iPhone is expected to be unveiled.
Google made a preemptive strike Tuesday with the release of a revamped YouTube application.
