[QUOTE="Durango03, post: 7774865, member: 594805"] Being as Droid is made by Motorola, which was purchased by Google, and runs the Android OS, created by google, I realize that they run google maps. My point was that in 2007 upon the unveiling of the Iphone and Ipad Steve Jobs and then Google CEO- Eric Smits (sp?) presented the products together. The two companies have embraced a business-like marriage where they had agreements in place not to poach employees, not to infringe on patents, etc. etc.. With that being said, all Iphones/Ipad's up until iOS6 have all came standard with Google Maps. Google basically stabbed Apple in the back (Explanations below) which is why Google Maps is no longer available on the iOS6 and the TbT was put on. Btw, for the previous comment about Android making more profit, your insane.. do your research. Apple has long been victim to patent infringements and has never had a good history of defending them; however, Apple has taken this betrayal to heart and are set on destroying Android. [B]2007[/B] When he introduced the iPhone at Macworld 2007, Jobs demonstrated how Google Maps (GOOG) worked on the device. He pulled up a list of Starbucks (SBUX) stores in the local area and said, "Let's call one." When someone answered, Jobs said: "I'd like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please. No, just kidding." [B]2009[/B] For a long time now, Apple’s competitors have perceived Apple as a company that knew how to make nice consumer products, but had been historically unable to defend itself in court. That led to ripoffs, all around the world, by companies who could benefit from copying Apple. Google may have had that cavalier attitude when it decided, with Eric Schmidt sitting on Apple’s board, to get into the phone business, something of a betrayal perceived by Steve Jobs. Putting a stop to that not only means patenting your innovations but having a complete understanding of the provenance of various agreements. That requires preparations for all out war. [B]2011[/B] In the current case against Samsung in Australia, Apple has sought and won an injunction against Samsung for violating an [B]important touchscreen heuristic[/B]. It’s not out of bounds for Apple to do that Apple, as it has grown, has made some serious preparations for war. Developed a great portfolio of patents to protect its innovation with iOS. Developed a first class legal staff that’s well funded. Come to understand the intricate details of communication patents and the strategic weaknesses of the opposing legal teams. Come to understand the different patent laws in different countries. Come to understand just how Android infringes on the iOS UI in a manner that Google hadn’t completely thought out or prepared for. Struck considerable fear in those who thought that Android would be an easy path to successful competition with Apple. What looks like juvenile, pugilistic legal shenanigans by Apple is, in fact, a well orchestrated war to destroy Android and 1) drive Samsung and HTC into the arms of Microsoft — where they are protected, but will pay profit killing fees, 2) or else waste time to spend huge sums building their own mobile OS, and 3) completely undermine and discredit Google’s purchase of Motorola. In the end, Google may have blown US$12.5B and be stuck with a hardware company that has no viable mobile OS. The wrath of Steve Jobs can be felt even beyond the grave. [/QUOTE]
