Google is very, very good at collecting and presenting vast stores of information. Apple isn't there yet, and I don't know if they'll ever be as good as Google.
Yeah, Google's trying to put Google Maps back on iOS, but Apple has made it clear that they want that bit of the ecosystem now. It's hard to see that battle ending in a way that's best for users.
The iPhone is a compelling piece of hardware, and iOS has many good features. But things like Google Maps are important to me and I don't like the idea of giving them up.
Fortunately, I don't have to decide for a while (as long as I don't dump my phone in the sink again anytime soon).
Cheers,
Scott.
(Who doesn't like the idea of patent battles deciding who wins, either...)
