UMikhal Marek Omunye wabamele abakhulu be-Google, u-Jeff Huber, udakale amanzi enkundla yokuxhumana ye-Google+. Uveze ukuthi ukubheke ngabomvu ukunikeza abasebenzisi be-iOS ulwazi oluhle lwe-Google Amamephu. Yize i-Google ihlinzeka ngezinhlelo zokusebenza zenkundla ye-iOS njenge-Google Earth ne-Google Latitude, lesi sitatimende esingabhekisela kuso ngokwetiyetha, kungenzeka ukuthi u-Huber ubhekise kuhlelo lokusebenza olusha olunamandla oluhlinzeka ngamamephu asuka ku-Google kuya kubasebenzisi be-iOS 6 futhi.
I-Apple izoshintsha abahlinzeki okokuqala ngqa selokhu kwethulwa i-firmware (kamuva eyaqanjwa kabusha yaba yi-iOS) ngo-2007. Ingemuva lemephu enguqulweni entsha ye-iOS, eyethulwa ku-WWDC yalo nyaka futhi ezofinyelela kubasebenzisi abajwayelekile ekwindla, ngeke isaba nawo umkhondo we-Google. Abanye onjiniyela babethukile ngemva kokuzama i-iOS 6 beta, futhi izindatshana mayelana "namamephu angcolile" zingatholakala ku-inthanethi yonke. Kodwa-ke, ukungabaza ngalezi zindaba kusengaphambi kwesikhathi, i-Apple isenezinyanga ezintathu ukuqedela inguqulo yokugcina.
I-Google itshala ingxenye ebalulekile yezinsiza zayo kumamephu ayo futhi iwathatha njengengxenye ebalulekile yebhizinisi layo. Kunengqondo ukuthi ukunyamalala ohlelweni lokusebenza oludumile njenge-iOS akuyona into efiselekayo enkampanini. I-Google, ngakolunye uhlangothi, izama ukwandisa ngangokunokwenzeka kulo mkhakha, okuyinto ezama ukuyifinyelela, isibonelo, ngokuhlinzeka nge-API yayo kuzinhlelo zokusebenza zezinkampani zangaphandle ezifana ne-Foursquare ne-Zillow.
Ngaphezu kwalezi zindaba ezithakazelisayo ezidala ukuqagela okusha, u-Jeff Huber uphinde waveza ukuthi ithimba eliseduzane ne-Street View lidale umbukiso wokugubha impumelelo yalo emkhakheni wenguquko wamamephu we-3D oya ku-Computer History Museum (Imnyuziyamu Yomlando Wekhompyutha) e-Mountain View, e-California.
...ekugcineni izindaba ezinhle zokuqala selokhu kwakhululwa i-iOS 6... Nakuba ngingayidingi i-ejensi yokukhangisa, kufanele ngivume ukuthi amamephu mahle kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokuthi ngizame amamephu ku-iOS 6...
"I-Google, ngakolunye uhlangothi, izama ukwandisa ngangokunokwenzeka kulo mkhakha, okuyinto eyenzayo
izama ukufeza, isibonelo, ngokuhlinzeka nge-API yayo ezinhlelweni zezinkampani zangaphandle,
njenge-Foursquare ne-Zillow.”
I-Foursquare ayisebenzisi i-Google API ngenxa yezindleko eziphezulu. Ngincoma ukuthi uhlole idatha kuqala ngaphambi kokubhala izindatshana.
Pho kungani kunelogo enkulu ye-Google kuwo wonke amamephu kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-4SQ? Imaphi amamephu ocabanga ukuthi i-4SQ isebenzisa?
Ku-iOS 6 isivele isebenzisa amamephu "amasha", esikhundleni sokuthi "G" kukhona "Ezomthetho" futhi ikhomba ulwazi olufanayo noluvela Kumamephu akhelwe ngaphakathi.
VUMA... ngemva kokuzama i-iOS 6 amamephu, ngithemba ukuthi uhlelo lokusebenza luzofana uma lungekho kangcono, nakuba cishe luhlanganiswe kancane ... ukuthi yini embi futhi uma ucabangela izinsiza ngeke kube ngcono kakhulu, uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Gmaps. ... kodwa uma kucatshangelwa amanani akhokhelwe ngokusebenzisa amamephu ku-iOS dev ngiyayithola..
Izinguqulo ze-ios zamamephu we-Google zizosho inzuzo eyengeziwe ku-Apple, njengoba i-Google kuzodingeka izikhokhele izimali (ngokuzibonisa ku-App Store).
Uma i-Google inikeza abakhokhelwayo, kusho ukuthi ayikho inhlanhla;) abantu abaningi bangathanda ukwaneliseka ngabakhululekile abavela ku-Apple, uma bebesesimweni esibi kakhulu kune-GMaps ekukhululweni kokugcina.
Isinyathelo esiphusile se-Google, asebevele basikhombisile ngenkathi bethula i-3D yabo
Banesizathu esizwakalayo sokwesaba ukuthi abasebenzisi be-Apple bazoziba ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, njengoba nje abanye abantu beneliseka ngamakhasi esikhundleni seZwi. Asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka mayelana nesimo samanje samamephu ngandlela thile.
