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

@StephenFleming@mjtsai But if Google would have been game to provide another year or two of bundled service, mabe Apple should have waited.

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

@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?

@mjtsai@StephenFleming Yet another theory: what if Google didn’t want to finish 1.0 until they saw what they’re up against in Apple’s Maps? -
@mjtsai@StephenFleming Consider that if Google Maps.app was ready on day one, Apple would suffer less ridicule, less desire for Google. -
@mjtsai@danielpunkass I doubt Google will withhold entirely. Might let Apple roast a while just for the schadenfreude of it.
