@stolton @gruber @danielpunkass Real-world usage data will help, but I think there’s lots Apple could have done without that, given time.
@danielpunkass @gruber Is Google trying to get people to use Google services (and possibly see their ads)? Or their Android platform?
@gruber @danielpunkass That’s my theory as well. Which makes Apple’s move curious. Seems like they could have waited a year and shipped 2.0.
@danielpunkass @StephenFleming Unless you subscribe to the theory that Google wants to withhold their maps entirely for competitive reasons.
@danielpunkass @StephenFleming It seems unlikely to me that Google forced Apple’s hand given that the Google Maps app isn’t ready yet.
@StephenFleming @danielpunkass I addressed that in my post: http://t.co/k8ELQt1J
@danielpunkass And it’s not even like Final Cut Pro where you could at least keep the old version installed.
@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.
@danielpunkass Looks like I interpreted your second part in a different way than you meant.
@paulhagstrom I don’t expect quick fixes, either; they’ve been working on both for a while. I’ll likely stay on iOS 5 until Google Maps app.
@danielpunkass I agree with the first part. Second part doesn’t seem to be very true, especially with iOS.
@paulhagstrom Podcasts also has laggy scrolling, even on a 4S.
@paulhagstrom Podcasts (even 1.1) is a total disaster as far as I can see. Some 3rd apps that are good, but they don’t sync with iTunes.
@danielpunkass It’s not just the data; it’s the amount of detail.
How many more updates before I stop having to manually delete Mail’s .emlx files so it doesn’t display attachments as inline Base64 text?
@chockenberry Even better: on a crappy connection, Android supports cached Google Maps. iOS doesn’t. Not sure whose fault, but it sucks.
@chockenberry Hasn’t Google Maps used vectors on Android for years now?
I don’t mean to be a buzzkill, but as a user Paranorama seems to be the only feature I want in iOS 6. Maps and Podcasts are downgraded.
