Should Apple abandon its own Maps app?  Hey guys,  The cat's out
of the bag: Google released Google Maps app, outclassing Apple's
own sollution in pretty much every aspect.  So this gets me
wondering. Should Apple even bother developping their own (very
expensive) mapping sollution? Getting the quality of the maps
itself at Google's level is gonna cost years and millions if not
billions of dollars. The only rational reason to develop such an
app, would be that Google refuses to develop one themselves.
And face it, Apple has historically been poor at services. They
have amazing hardware and software (tough I think iOS is geting
really really stale, hopefully that changes now Forestall is

massively or had very limited success.  .Mac, MobileMe, Ping,
now the Maps, Messages, that awkward shared photo stream thing
in iOS ... Even iCloud is something pretty half-baked in its
current state I think. And they all had one big issue in common:
