“While we’re improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.”
Direkte Konkurrenten erwähnen und empfehlen, nachdem man es selbst verbockt hat. Wie viele Unternehmen machen das? (Und: Die Reaktion von Apple sagt viel über das Verständnis von der Bedeutung von iOS bei Apple aus. Das kann man gar nicht überschätzen.)

““Audiobus is analogous to audio cables,” developer Michael Tyson told Evolver.fm in April when Audiobus was in alpha. “It lets you stream audio between two apps, on the same device… Users will be able to stream the output of audio apps straight into other apps, e.g. live-loopers or DAWs [digital audio workstations], playing along in sync with tracks.””

“The biggest feature is the addition of LyricPlay. This scans a lyrics library online and mixes it in with the music already on your device. If you like, you can display those lyrics in a karaoke-view to help you sing along. You can also set it up to share what you’re listening to on Facebook and Twitter. If you’re interested in learning more about a band, the player also links out to bios, tour dates, and YouTube videos with a single click.”
