Between this and the total redesigns that keep making things harder to use for no reason, Google seems to have no interest in people actually using their products. I’ve never seen a single company with more cases of “geez this stuff is all great if you’d just leave it the hell alone…”.

For that matter, didn’t it take Steve Jobs to connect the dots for them so that they’d even consider putting their maps on mobile phones? They’re lucky they’re even in this business.

Wat? Google Maps was available on BlackBerry (and other platforms) when Steve Jobs was still selling flower-print iMacs.

How did Steve Jobs connect the dots for Google?
