Tech Talk News: Apple Exes Not Happy With Google Map Praise

  Blog site Daring Fireball has some inside scoop that Apple is not happy about the praise Google got this over their maps making there way back to Apple products.  It is an embarrassing mess when you dump a company for its maps and then when you release your own its a disaster . The executives over at Apple should be more than happy that Google came and saved the day. Nokia’s maps was a good replacement for Apple’s map app but Google has mastered the mobile map. Sometimes you win some (Apple has been winning for a while) and some times you lose in terrible defeats like Apple just did with their maps.  Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA

Tech Talk News: Apple Fires It’s Map Manger

So Apple decided to fire it’s Maps app manager, Richard Williamson. Whose to blame Williamson, for not delivering a superior maps  app that would  compete against Google’s. Or Apple for jumping the gun and dropping Google maps before testing their own maps with the public. I’m going with Apple, Apple could have put out a  beta version out and see what the public thought and then worked on the app. After all they had one more year with Google, now Apple is playing catch up.
