I think Apple will welcome a Google Maps app on iOS. Apple’s app is about independence and opportunity for long-term UX innovations.

@danielpunkass I agree with the first part. Second part doesn’t seem to be very true, especially with iOS.

@mjtsai There are already real innovations in there that people like. It’s a 1.0. You know Apple can do well on features they care about.

@danielpunkass I agree that they *can*. But they had something 5.x that was very good and threw it away in favor of a very rough 1.0. -
@mjtsai@danielpunkass The problem is that they (Apple) DIDN’T have it. Google had it. Pain now, or pay later. -
@StephenFleming@mjtsai But if Google would have been game to provide another year or two of bundled service, mabe Apple should have waited. - View other replies

@danielpunkass@StephenFleming Unless you subscribe to the theory that Google wants to withhold their maps entirely for competitive reasons. - View other replies

@mjtsai@danielpunkass I don’t think Google withheld “maps”. Instead, specific features like vector graphic tiles and turn-by-turn. - View other replies

@danielpunkass@gruber Is Google trying to get people to use Google services (and possibly see their ads)? Or their Android platform?

@danielpunkass And it’s not even like Final Cut Pro where you could at least keep the old version installed. -
@mjtsai@danielpunkass Google Maps runs under Safari… -
@StephenFleming@danielpunkass I addressed that in my post: http://mjtsai.com/blog/2012/09/20/apples-ios-6-maps-app/ … -
@mjtsai Yes. Good post; I hadn’t seen it. Thanks! I think crowdsourcing will fix Maps, but it will take some time (and encouragement).

@danielpunkass Looks like I interpreted your second part in a different way than you meant.
