Nope, can't see it on the GS3. Odd.

Not odd. A forum feature users have reported for nearly two years.

Ho hum. Call me back when it can grow a leg and expand to a 27" iMac...

Sam, I've long long labored under the impression you were about 30 years younger

Of course, you might think I'm a two dimensional cartoon character...

I guess that would make me a Wesen.

There's not a lot of stuff that hasn't been rehashed already, but this one part caught my eye:

Wiens: I think Apple's new maps app is a disaster. If I can't get bicycle directions or transit directions on my phone, and there isn't a replacement Google Maps app in the App Store, I would switch to Android. Google Maps app is one of the best, most proven mapping technologies in the world. It doesn't look like Apple really gets maps yet.

Very. Interesting.

I'm a fan of Google Maps as well. Although indications are that Apple is going to their own solution, I thought word was that Google Maps will be available on the App Store as a separate download. Is that no longer the case?

 

[Sam Posten]

Yeah, cause walking and bike directions are killer features.
I've been using the new Apple maps for 2 months now, it has replaced my use of TomTom. It's that good. Tied into siri it is a game changer for hands free use.

In summary... maybe?

If your use case isn't like Sam's, you're doing it wrong. Some people want walking and bike directions? What a bunch of whiny jerks.Get a car and a clue.

 

[Sam Posten]

Best of both worlds. Apple will add them eventually. In the meantime you'll be able to download a Google Maps app and G will be able to flood you with ads. Wait, what?

 

[Ronald Epstein]

I totally dislike Rush, but Gosh Darnit if he isn't spot on about this.

 

[Sam Posten]

We'll see.

Hell, most of us are chomping on the bit to buy the iPhone 5 despite what's posted here.

 

[TonyD]

I'm not.

This will be a great post-Steve test with regards to his ability to have "one more thing" up his sleeve. Recall that prototype of the 4 that was out there pre-release? Where Steve actually joked about "some of you may have already seen this..." but then he still managed to unveil some new surprises despite the fact that most people had already seen the prototype. Hopefully Tim Cook & Co. have something up their sleeve which will still drop jaws despite the fact that we may have already seen the finished product.
