Nothing else is a mac. That's all that really needs to be said. Anyone who has an iphone is lucky. Anyone who ditches an iphone for anything else is a moron. There simply is nothing like it nor will there ever be. Apart from the phone itself, which is amazing, the compatability with my macs is unbeatable, and that's MAJOR.</p> switching from iphone to anything is ridiculous. Nothing else is a mac.

After all, they wouldn't even let latitude functionality in the native app. I would say that Googles only shot on the iPhone would to have it be browser based. However, if google only made this for Android phones, they would get a huge competitive advantage.</p> Well, I can tell you right now that Apple would never allow the native google maps app to be replaced with one that provides turn by turn.
