    You are distorting the history by hiding some facts.  Google worked closely with Apple before iPhone launch.  There are a team of Google engineers were given the iOS API by Apple. 

    So

    Why didn't Apple completely stop Android?

    Why does this super espionage only come to fruition when a fanboy claims such?

    Why has no Apple executive mentioned anything about this?

    Why is Apple completely moronic in your world?

    My guess is that you don't know what a public forum is.




    Hear no. See no. Speak no.

    The source code is there for all to see. Did they steal any code?

    You need to ask Steve Jobs.

    With regards to why Google can't push updates... because Apple was able to extract that concession from a very weak AT&T at the time.  Apple's demand to control software was a monumental concession on AT&T's part, which probably saved AT&T.

    Are you answering someone's post? If you did you should've included their post within yours.

    Apple has passed the point of no return, period.I think they should have allowed themselves another year of development instead of rushing it out with iOS6 to have a truly great product. This way the terrible publicity could have been avoided. Apple cannot afford too many apologies like this before losing all its credibility.

    If the rumors were correct, the deals with Google for content ran out before that could have happened.

    It's already forgotten.

    Crossed swords really.

    Google's strategy is very much the web plus apps, whereas Apple's is apps plus the web.

    Rather, the other way around.  At the end of October 2006, Apple asked for Google's help with a mobile API to access Search and Maps.  (Imagine the iPhone's first year without Search, Maps, YouTube, and cell tower location.  It would've been a much less interesting and useful device without Google's products being ported.)


     


    There's no evidence that Google engineers got to see the iPhone or its UI at all.  The stories say they hid all that. Heck, Apple didn't even show it to their own engineers working on various APIs.


     


    However, I think this is most likely where a leak from Apple's team about the kind of UI could've come from, if there was any leak at all.  There would likely have been at least accidental hints about touch, touch map scrolling, etc.

    One of Google's advantages with maps was that they're also available to everyone on the web, on any kind of device.  This allowed millions of people to correct locations of businesses etc very easily.  


     


    I think a web version would be just as helpful to Apple.

    Are you making this up?  Where do you get this information?  Who coded the first Maps app on iPhone in 2007?

    Google still believes in the web.


    At least for now.

    I agree with Schmidt, I'd love to have Google Maps as default. 


     


    I've tossed Apple's map app in a folder, I never use it.  Apple tried to reinvent the wheel with their maps, and failed miserably, crashed, and burned.  They need to admit their mistake and suck up to Google.

    Enjoy your stupid FUD.

    I'd have to agree in that Google's app is currently superior.  I've had a few encounters using the Apple maps information (not the actual guidance) being incorrect and resulted in me calling places that had nothing to do with what I was attempting to call.


     


    That being said, I do look forward to any improvements Apple can make to the app.  Competition is never bad.
