So Apple have started to correct some of the problems with their maps - about bloody time. This article is the same as many Apple fan boy web sites - I know this because I follow a few of them - does this make me a fanboy as well? Anyway, it seems that Apple are fixing some of the probelms and the sites are only too happy to let everyone know. Two things. First, why did it take Apple two weeks to notice that small places like Uckfield is not in the correct place. Now Uckfield has a population of around 14k and been around since late 13th century (thanks Wikipedia).
Second, and this is the more interesting question, why is all this good news spreading amongst the fanboy blogs - I sense the not so light touches of the Apple PR people at work. Now I want the Map debacle to be sorted out - I have far too many iOS products that depend on a reliable Map app, see I am a fanboy at heart, not to want it to succeed. I just wish that Apple weren't so full of their own PR to believe just because they say something is "..the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever..." (Macworld.co.uk) it is. At least Tim Cook now has come clean that perhaps they got things a bit wrong.
Now I feel better for that I will go back into my corner and play with my iMac or iPad or iPhone or watch something on my Apple TV or listen to something on my iPod, classic and shuffle.... These Fanboys ughh what are they like?
