Hopefully not for much longer due to anti-competitive laws in the US trying to stop this from continuing :)

Looks like Apple are just taking advantage of Google's usefulness to everyone cause frankly if I was Google I'd be seriously considering pulling YouTube and Maps from iPhone users, I think we'd all know who the losers would be then.

Totally agree. Apple have shown a certain arrogance towards its users. They've proved that all they want is money, and obviously profits are always high on the agenda but disadvantaging customers isn't the way to go...

I'm with google :)

I'm loving my Google Voices, Maps, Latitude, open app store all on Android ;)

Apple need to take a leaf out of Google's books in the way that Google are a lot more lax about everything, Google allow people to upload applications for root users to the Android Market (Getting root on Android is like Jailbreaking for iPhone) for example.

There could be something going on, for e.g. Google are enabling multitouch in the next firmware update for Android users. Everyone knows Apple weren't happy with them and made Google disable multitouch at launch.

You can mix and match firmwares on the G1, on my T-Mobile UK G1 I currently have the Global ADP Android development firmware on, I was using it as an example but i'm sure I could get it on my phone :P
