IE across ALL mobile devices currently represents less than 2% market share according to NetMarketShare. In other words, less than the Blackberry browser. Would you optimize YOUR product for that?
- barista 14y agoWho said anything about optimizing here? Supporting and optimizing are two separate things.
- malachismith 14y agoOK. Would you do the work to make your product SUPPORT 2% of the market?
- kenjackson 14y agoIt works fine today. No work is needed by Google. They did more work to redirect the traffic.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoMaybe Google is tired of the ongoing maintenance hassle and doesn't want to pay to write all the special-case code that will be necessary to support IE in future versions of their maps product. From what I'm seeing, and to take just one example, IE 10 still doesn't support touch pan and zoom on mobile, which strikes me as a useful thing for a map application.
- Pr0 14y agoWhat work? They can just let Windows Phone users access the site and fend for themselves. I would say writing the code for the redirect is more work.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoExcept that the customers would then blame Google when something didn't work. No one likes to get blamed for the shortcomings of others.
