Do you think Google will be able to make this app available for iPhone?

On another related note, I just saw a commercial on TV tonight for a Garmin-powered cell phone (I don’t watch TV very often, so maybe this commercial has been around for a while, but I thought the timing was perfect).

haha no not really, But I believe there is a market for all of these devices. they might loose some market share but not everyone is waiting for Google pointing them in the wrong direction to a store that is at the wrong placemarker position because their business was open for edit :-)

and to be a bit more serious they have some very cool business solutions which they should put a bit more focus on instead of the consumer market.

just to mention a few things.
