We have heard that Google is planning on offering a standalone mapping application for iOS and you never know, Apple could create a worthwhile competitor for Google Maps. We won�t really know this until iOS 6 is officially released in October.</p> <p>If you are running the beta version of iOS 6 it is still possible to get a decent and usable version of Google Maps for your iOS device. Although Apple have removed it from the iOS, Google still offer their maps service through the mobile web which when mixed with Mobile Safari and home screen web bookmarks actually produces a very handy end result. If this is what you are after or you would like to compare Apple�s mapping application to Google Maps then this is something that you can easily do.</p> <p>Although it may not be perfect, using the mobile Google Maps site and adding it as a bookmark to the home screen of your iOS 6 device, is a worthwhile option for those who are having difficulties with Apple�s mapping application. Most of the native options are still available, such as determining the device�s location and getting directions and routes which makes it perfect for general use.</p> <p>If you are running iOS 6 beta and you want to test out the two mapping apps why not try out this solution and let us know what you think.</p> </span> </span></span>

As is usual, the first released build of iOS 6 beta is only available to developers so if you are not a registered member of Apple�s developer program you are going to have to wait a little while longer to see what all the fuss is about.</p> <span class="fullpost"> <p>The new Maps service from Apple is one that is really going to impress along with the native Facebook integration. Twitter was already incorporated into the native iOS last October so it is great to see Facebook now taking its place too.</p> <p>As this is the first beta release there are likely to be some bugs but I�m sure those downloading it will be anxious to see the foundations of this new iOS and get a preview of the brand new software before it is released to the public. There are likely to be a few betas before the official release and each of these will bring various updates and improvements and we will keep you posted as these arrive. For now here is a brief overview of the new features you can expect with iOS 6.</p> <p>Siri has been updated for iOS 6 and you will now be able to ask Siri about the latest sports updates, make reservations in your favorite restaurant, ask about movies and more. You will also be able to launch apps and tweet directly on Twitter. Siri is also now available for the iPad. Native Facebook integration is also part of iOS 6 and this is going to make logging in, linking, and posting status updates, pictures and more to your profile much more steamlined. Native Phone app has been updated as has Safari.</p> <p>iOS 6 will be compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4th gen, iPad 2 and iPad 3rd generation. The final version of iOS 6 should be made available to the public later this year along with the next iPhone. For now if you are a developer you can download the beta version of iOS 6 and see exactly what it can do.</p> </span> </span></span>
