I do not understand why Apple screws up and people are totally pissed. Microsoft has screwed up, android has screwed up and so has Blackberry. Do bloggers come out of the woodwork writing stories about how they have screwed up? If so, not like Apple bloggers. Do you hear users of other brands complaining of screw ups? Not like Apple users. Why?So what that Maps doesn't do the job fore SOME. It's not EVERYONE that has a problem with it. There are other map apps out there. Try them. Apple put a link in the features section of their App Store for map apps.

Perhaps you are correct. Perhaps I should have had one less glass of red wine before posting. It's just that I DO depend considerably on the maps app, perhaps more than most others, but in any case I was feeling disgusted while missing some features in the new Apple app that I used in Google maps…. And Google Internet access to the same thing just doesn't cut it like their Apple App did. Perhaps if Apple doesn't get its act together, Google will fill in the gaps properly with their own iPad app. I hope so. I worry with Steve gone that things will go to pot.

Oh come on Ed... one app and you abandon ship?
Google is working on their app for iOS6, plus there are all the other apps that were available before all this hit the fan.
Besides, if you go to Android, you'll have to start all over again with your apps, accessories, etc, just to get into their eco-system.
Apple, all the while, is diligently working on their app to try and perfect it. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater... whew!

For some months I have been planning on purchasing a new iPad for my wife this coming December. I had been looking forward to it for most of this year. However, after the debacle of iOS6 and particularly the maps issue, I am now strongly considering going with Android. It remains to be seen if Apple can fix and improve things before my purchase decision if finalized. I expect updates to my iPad2 will keep me informed on whether or not this occurs.
