Given the way that the Google Voice app for the iPhone worked out, I'm going to guess that iPhone owners won't be seeing a Google Maps for Mobile with navigation capabilities.


I wasn't there for the briefing but some of the articles about this seem to indicate that Google is already working with Apple to integrate this with the iPhone's native Maps app.

Google and Apple have a weird relationship as far as mobile goes. Apple can do really lame shit like blocking Google Voice and Latitude, but when it comes down to it Google will still force a smile and continue working with them because they want all the mobile search revenue.


"But they said it was up to the makers of those devices to decide whether to include the application."

err, I hope they meant "it's up to the users of those devices to decide whether to install the application."!?


lol, uh no. sounds like they mean it's up to apple to decide if they want to develop it since they screwed us over with other products why should we bother to develop more good ones on their platform. good for google, screw apple for not allowing google voice.


Apple have already approved other GPS navigation apps, so there's no reason why Google's version would be a problem.
