"Google Maps is one of the main lock-in apps that keeps people inside the closed Google Play Services ecosystem."
I can't speak for others. But as someone that tried the Apple "ecosystem" after being on google, I have a big appreciation for it. A lot of websites/apps these days use google for single sign-on, pretty much meaning that I don't have to type my damn login every time I install a new app, etc.
But, on the Ipad, I had to type my password in so many times. And my password is 25+ characters long, with mixed upper and lower case. Easy on a keyboard, but on a touch-screen keyboard it is a PAIN.
- rational-future 12y agoApple has 99 faults, but your lack of touch typing skills ain't one :)
- zo1 12y agoI can touch type, just not on a touch screen :)
- Vik1ng 12y agoI think a lot of people on this website always try to avoid such logins. Google already has enough of my data and I don't want to lock myself into a system if I don't have to. And do you really need a 25+ char password for every blog you comment on?
