Everytime I see an article on HN about Apple Maps, I get hopeful that there's an announcement buried that they're releasing an Android version... I agree that Apple (& Bing/MS) is vital... But in order for the goog to be toppled, there needs to be apps on all platforms. It seems ludicrous they want to redistrict their map and messaging to iOS only, but there's a real opportunity for Apple to spread out into competing platforms.
