Official YouTube App Lands on iOS Today

Viewing YouTube videos is undoubtedly one of the most popular tasks on any smartphone these days. With just a flick of your touch screen, you can now load any funny video to show to your buddies on an instant's notice. However, with the competition heating up between Google and Apple, the two companies finally decided to part ways, with the former releasing their own completely distict app on the Cupertino kids' own store.

So what does this new app experience have to offer? To be truthful not that much more than we have already seen from the YouTube mobile site. Users will be able to sign in with their account, subscribe to channels, post comments and browse related clips to their hearts content. A slightly overhauled interface will probably make some longtime old school app users cringe, but it's nothing we can't get used to. One of the most unsettling attributes however is that we'll now be stuck with having to watch those annoying ads on selected videos. Are you willing to make the change, or would you rather just see the old app become bootable on iOS 6 through  a probable jailbreak?
