I feel special. I've had my iPhone 5 for 2 months and put google maps on it when I got it. Nothing new Rickey. Apple publicly acknowledged their map downfall, now you are just kicking a dead horse. We all know you hate the late Steve Jobs and everything Apple. But we also know Google pays your rent. So before a drone shows up outside your window, just shut up.

@waynocoaster Not everything has an ulterior motive. I have nothing against Steve Jobs. Apple has been "running" the blog for years (OS X) and that won't change anytime soon. I am only against the iPhone and the iPhone "lifestyle" which is all marketing.
