Google makes fun of new iOS 6 maps, as well

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 22 Sep 2012 12:41 User comments (6)

Google, via their acquisition Motorola Mobility, has gotten in on the "make fun of iOS 6 Maps" bandwagon, with a clever ad.

The company even started a new hashtag on Twitter, #iLost, making fun of the issues plaguing the new app.

Check the Tweet here and the ad after the jump:

Looking for 315 E 15th in Manhattan? Google Maps on DROID RAZR M will get you there & not #iLost in Brooklyn. moto.ly/location

Whether it is or isn't, Apple's still going to sue over this, lol.

It was used by someone else first...so I'm guessing Apple will trademark it and then sue Motorola, as well as anyone with an "i" anywhere in their name, address, company name, product name, etc...

Apple sues US Government for its adoption of the languages English and Spanish in 99% of its published material. These languages are in violation of Apple's trademark on "i". A symbol designated by a short vertical line with a solid circle above it.

I don't think i is trademarked. There is a very popular low cost range of computer products selling in India for more than 15 years going by the brand name of "iBall".
