Jan Zdarsa Kuzothatha cishe unyaka kusukela i-Apple ithenge i-Placebase, ebingomunye wabaqhudelana nabancane be-Google Amamephu. Ngokusho kwesiza saseFrance i-Le Soleil, i-Apple ithenge enye inkampani ebizwa ngePoly9.
Izinkampani ezifana ne-Apple, ngokwesibonelo, zithenga izinkampani ezifanayo ukuze ziqashe onjiniyela nabaklami abasha abanamakhono, kodwa kungaba ukuqondana okukhulu uma u-Apple ethenga izinkampani ezimbili ngesikhathi esifushane futhi zombili zisebenzelana namamephu. Ngakho-ke i-Apple ilungiselela umkhiqizo lapho ukusebenza nemephu kuzobaluleka kakhulu. Ngokusho kwayo yonke imibiko, abantu abasezingeni eliphezulu basebenze ePoly9, futhi i-Apple yathola izengezo ezithokozisayo eqenjini layo. Umkhiqizo we-Poly9 wawufana ngokumangalisayo ne-Google Earth.
Ngaphambilini i-Apple ibilokhu ibheka umuntu ozothatha isicelo semephu ku-iPhone "ayise ezingeni elilandelayo". Ngokwalesi sikhangiso, i-Apple ifuna ukushintsha indlela abantu abasebenza ngayo ngamamephu. Ngaphambi kokukhishwa kwe-iOS 4, bekunokuqagela ukuthi i-Google Amamephu ingase ithathelwe indawo umkhiqizo we-Apple, kodwa lokho akwenzekanga. Ngakho-ke i-Apple ihlela ini? Uhlela ukususa i-Google Amamephu ku-iPhone? UCABANGANI?
Mhlawumbe akunjalo, ngicabanga ukuthi i-Google Maps ayikwazi ukushintshwa kanjalo nje. Ngisacabanga ukuthi i-Apple = i-HW engcono kakhulu, i-Google = i-SW engcono kakhulu, kungaba kuhle uma laba bobabili besebenza ndawonye. ;)
Mhlawumbe ku-iOS 5 sizoba nokuzulazula kwamahhala kusuka ku-apula :)
Ngisenethemba lokuthi i-Apple izolahla ama-GMaps futhi iwabuyisele ngomkhiqizo wayo, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kuzokwenzeka, kodwa nginovalo lokuthi ngeke kuthathe isikhathi eside. Sesivele sinezindaba zokuqala ze-iOS5. :D
Ngisebenzisa i-Google Earth kukhompuyutha yami futhi ngizulazula nge-Navigon ku-iPhone yami. Kodwa ngingabonga uma bekukhona indlela yokuyixhuma. Vele uhlele imizila yakho nezindawo kukhompyutha yakho bese uyidlulisela ku-iPhone yakho naku-Navigon yayo ngesikhathi sokuvumelanisa. Ukwenza yonke into ngokushesha ku-tydliphone akulula neze. Ingabe ukhona onolwazi uma lusebenza ngandlela thize, ngisho nangezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza kukhompyutha?
