Apple Planning to Approve Google Maps

Ever since iOS 5 came out for the iPhone users have been complaining about the integrated Apple Maps system. There are a number of issues and bugs that Apple is still working on but the good news is that Apple is apparently planning to approve Google Maps for the iPhone as well. This means that iPhone users will still get to choose between the two competing systems.

Google Maps is still in development for iOS 5, but Google was originally very concerned that Apple most likely would not approve the app. Now that Apple announced there will likely be no issues Google is expected to continue work on the iOS app. No word on when it will actually be available but millions of iPhone users are waiting anxiously for a better map solution.

Apple maps is one of the biggest complaints for iOS 5, so it is definitely a big deal that Google has decided to continue developing for iOS 5. It is only a matter of time before the app is finished but up until this week there was no guarantee that it would ever actually be approved for iPhone use. Fortunately Apple came to the conclusion that it will likely be acceptable which has been very well received by iPhone users.

Boeing Developing a New Android Phone

Android OS is available on thousands of different phones around the world. Ranging anywhere from the ultra cheap to the incredibly expensive they do in fact come in almost any shape or size. Fortunately now Boeing is going to step up and fill a void that nobody really knew about, the ultra secure smartphone world.

Boeing, the company known for defense products and aircraft, is now stepping up to create the most secure Android phone on the market. According to Boeing the phone should be available in the next 6 months, but don’t be surprised if you never see it on shelves. As with any secure device, it will only be available to certain companies or users and it will be very expensive. Boeing is however hoping to make this the most inexpensive phone in the secure world which shouldn’t be too difficult since current options cost around $10,000.

The good news is that this will in fact bring security to the smartphone world. Security has been lacking for quite some time and if this development works as planned the technology will eventually trickle down to consumer grade phones. Security has been lacking in Android phones for quite some time so this is a much needed improvement for many users. It is unclear when or where this technology will be implemented for average users but the fact that it is becoming a very real possibility is absolutely amazing news.

Google and Motorola Deal Officially Approved

Google has been waiting for approval on their attempted buyout of Motorola’s mobile division for a few months now and today we have received word that it has officially been approved. This is absolutely great news because it will likely bring all sorts of technical advancements to the industry and many analysts feel it will even help cut the price down in many ways.

This merger is going to be huge for the industry given the fact that it involves two of the largest companies in their respective markets. Google and Motorola Mobile have been working together on Android devices for quite some time so it only makes sense that they would merge into a single company at some point. Obviously we don’t know when the merger will be finalized or when Motorola  Mobile and Google will begin working together but it is great news that they have in fact received the official approval.

Google has publicly announced how happy they are that the merger was approved, and depending on how things work out this may also benefit other major companies producing Android phone as well as Motorola. Keep an eye out for Google’s big plans in the future as it will likely affect the consumer market in a major way and if things go how Google wants it will bring all sorts of great news to consumers all around the world. Analysts are hopeful that Google and Motorola will begin working together as soon as possible now that it has been approved.
