Google Announces 'Android Auto' CarPlay Competitor

Imagine a car with iOS. In 12 months it won't get any support, updates or new additions.

Accusing Apple of prematurely withdrawing support from their devices.... now that's a first.

Oh dear, the nasty make believe elitist Apple attitude is rearing it's head here again..

Come back when a luxury phone maker puts iOS on it's $20,000 mobile eh it'll be a while as they are too busy using Android.

LOL. Can't believe that that's something to boast about. And I'm sure you already know no one can use iOS but Apple, so it's not like they have a choice between the two.

Really? I thought catching fire and exploding was a very well known Apple feature?

Actually, a feature on any device using a lithium polymer battery but don't let that stop you.

How is Apple ahead in the tablet market when Android owns just over 60% of the market? Apple has no lead in any market; not phones, not tablets and not computers. Google just does more in a shorter period of time.
Que up the folks that say iPhone is the top selling phone.

If broken down by device model, both iPhone and iPad are still by far the best selling devices in their class. Since every device under the sun can run on Android, comparing their combined sales to one family of devices made by only one manufacturer is never going to be a fair comparison.

But of course, we all love to cherry pick the facts that confirm our own biases... myself included.

At least I'll get to my destination... not end up in a river or plane runway like iMaps

Ever heard of iAds?

you mean like this

And the advertisers hate Apple, because they won't share information with them, unlike Google

Compare that to the dozens if not hundreds of Apple Maps quality issues, don't try to use isolated incidents to turn around the facts, Google Maps is a far better, far mature products than iMaps.

To this day, iMaps says I live in a school, cause my building was a school, back in 1903. It's not a new conversion it was converted in 1984, yet somehow iMap doesn't seem to get it
