Eric Schmidt: Ha ha, NO Google maps app for iPhone 5

Google should make a paid version Google Maps for the desperated iOS6 users

I've come to think that Google should make a paid version Google Maps for the ios6 users. Without the great Google Maps, iphone 5 or ios6 users are desperate.

Providing a paid version of Google Maps for iOS users will definitely bring big profit margin for Google. No providing one to ios6, wil bring bigger Android market share. Well either way a win-win for Google.

Great move Google!

Apple flooded with iPad 3 wireless connection complaints

To date, Apple has not stand forward and face the problem like real big corporation. This has really further tarnishing their already look ugly after sales service images. Everytime when there's problem in their products, they have always choosen to coward behind Apple Corporation building at Cupertino. This really isn't what a REAL MAN should act.

If we look around, Google, IBM, Microsoft and so on.. if problem like this arise in their products, they had always stand forward and quickly provide a solution to the trouble.

I used to hate a lots about Microsoft Windows Update. But now compare it to Apple lousy attitude, Microsoft infact are 10x better Corporation than the sissy Apple.

Think again, Apple are inadequate Corporation, lacking professionals to deal with products crissis. Look what happened with Flashback virus/malware. This is a problem that Microsoft could have easily solved in a day or 2, and yet the inadequate Apple took more than 5 months.

Look like Google, IBM, Microsoft and the rest, except Apple, has got their professionals well trained to deal with any crisis when they arise. Well done to all of Google, IBM, Microsoft staffs.

In this round, Google, IBM, Microsoft and the rest scored 80 out of 100.

Too bad Apple, too bad, you had only scored 20 out of 100.

Hi The Register,

I am NewForce. Thanks for using some of my words as part of your news content. Even without mentioning my name, but I'm still delighted as the new iPad 3/4G+WiFi version 3G connection issue that me and hundres of users across 4 continents are seeing and are suffering almost every single day since the 16th March the day the new iPad launched. Even Apple Support Communities deleted my growing thread in their forum, I'm still keep all the victims namelist till 06/04 with me.

The same title thread also posted at , http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-3-forum/70239-issues-ipad-3-4g-wifi-version-owner-worldwide.html

After rethink of all users situation on the problem we've seen so far, I'm having more suspect & remedy suggestion to our cause,

1. iOS 5.1 having bugs.

2. Qualcomm radio chipset issues in design, driver & firmware.

3. New iPad power regulating IC & circuitry having problem distributing adequate voltage & power to Qualcomm 3/4G radio chipset & Broadcom WiFi chipset. This may due to new iPad high resiolution 2048x1548 screen consuming too many power and Apple are trying hard to save power from all possible ways. Look like Apple aimed for beyond Full resolution HD has took a set back and jeopardized it own product performance.

4. New iPad 42.5W battery pack poor quality, voltage & power inconsistency.

5. New iPad internal heat dissipating issue, resulted poor chipsets and battery pack performance.

For item 1, Apple might able to fix it with iOS 5.2 or 5.1.1.

For item 2, Apple could partially fix on the driver & firmware change, but not on radio chipset design issue. A New iPad Recall or Replacement can help.

For item 3, A firmware changed may help to re-distributing adequate voltage and power the Qualcomm & Broadcom chipsets.

For item 4, A New iPad Recall or Replacement or just Battery pack replacement can help.

For item 5, ONLY redesign of new iPad can help. Or a step back solution like Apple help to drill some holes with our warranty still intact. Some users may object this idea though.
