Can't really compare to Apple releasing Maps though. They released maps because they had to, it isn't a feature neither a selling point. The contract with Google expired and the original Maps had to be phased out, also the YouTube app, and they had to come up with something. The app itself was superior, had good usability and cool features, but mapping data is largely a monopoly and you can't really compete without owning Navitec/Atlas/whatever.
- NicoJuicy 13y agoThey had another 6 months to update their Maps app... (released it in September or something, the contract ended in December). They just wanted to take Google by suprise, so they wouldn't release their apps map on time and by this, they had upset their customers with a piece of crap product (Apple Maps :s)
