We should NOT expect any functionalities from iphone because you guess it, yeah its iphone.Credit to iphone for sleek UI interface and bringing greater consumer interest for mobile phones, but that doesn't mean it should stop there.

Hi Nick,

Why shouldn't I expect Apple to have a mapping API? Apple partnered with Google to provide a Map application for the iPhone. So Apple could just as easily have partnered with Google on a mapping API for the iPhone SDK.

The point though is that Apple is missing the opportunity here. Then again...the iPhone is really an iPod that makes phone calls and not a fully fledged mobile computing platform...for that, we need to turn to Android for now.

Create my own MapView with WebKit!?!?!? Are you kidding? From all the apps I've seen submitted to the Challenge, >90% of the most interesting ones take advantage of GPS coordinates. Would all these great applications have been submitted if everyone had to create their own MapActivity from scratch...?

Still wondering how long Apple will continue to be misguided about the potential of mobile phones outside the pure media play.
