Google Maps on the iPhone or if you use iJailbreak, on your iPod Touch as well shows the power of what Google can do. Yahoo is trying their best at keeping up with the cellphone world but they seem to not quite "get it" all the time. You have to wonder what 900lb gorilla Microsoft is doing. Very little, at least on what you can do now with a third party device. While Microsoft knows how to tempt the enterprise market, tempting consumers will be much harder......as Microsoft Bob and the Microsoft Home Phone will attest. Time will tell but Google will be hard to beat but while there offerings so far are so far ahead of the others not all of them are perfect and some are not that workable on the cellphone platform. This may give others a chance to fill that gap with a better product........if they can step up to the plate. Google is going to be a hard one to beat as far as cellphone software goes.
