You've seen the mockery over Apple's messy map app and how will sometimes give users wrong information, but the question this past week have turned to why.
Why is Apple launching this when it's worst in the previous version with Google?
Well, we have some answers.
Reports say that Apple wanted to harness the glory of Google spoken term by Turn directions,
but Google was keeping that close to Android and would only offer that feature to Apple if Google got some branding credit and Google also wanted to add some features like allocation sharing tool, Apple wasn't down for that.
And so it chose to move quickly ahead with this own creation and breakoff its dependence on Google.
Well, you know Google's been perfecting its map database for 7 years so Apple's got a ways to go, it's just getting started.
But I wanna hear what you think about all this.
Have you had any promise using Apple maps
or has been just fine for you.
Are you hesitant to upgrade to iOS 6 because of it?

You've heard me talk about apps for checking into TV shows and giving you the second screen experience but we're keeping
a close eye on a new one that just cropped up for the U.S. called Zeebox and it's been back by 30 broadcasters including Comcast, NBC Universal, HBO and Cinemax and it matters because there groups are going to promote this app heavily during shows to get you to multi-task on the app while the show is on and that could hurt apps like GetGlue which had check-in stickers or Yahoo's IntoNow.
The Zeebox app will list trending shows, get personalized programming recommendation and get this.
These broadcasters
sync up the app with advertising.
So, perhaps you could see a car add on TV and also see a pop up about it on your phone or tablet.
It's already got 1.5 million users in the U.K. That's your tech news update for today, but you could have more details about all these stories at the blog cnet.com/update.
