        I had a feeling I should wait a while before I download it… I have learned the "hard way" too many times to put trust in new "updates", and now I wait till they work the bugs out.

          Some highlights of complaints about Apple Maps reported to the BBC - almost comical!

          • Some towns appear to be missing, such as Stratford-upon-Avon and Solihull.
          • Others, like Uckfield in East Sussex, are in the wrong location.
          • Satellite images of various locations, particularly in Scotland, are obscured by cloud.
          • A search for Manchester United Football Club directs users to Sale United Football Club, a community team for ages five and above.
          • Users also reported missing local places, such as schools, or strange locations. Another screenshot showed a furniture museum that was apparently located in a river.

            I grew up in Solihull, it going missing is probably a good thing….

                  So my brother's Passbook let him scan in his Walgreens card but now won't do anything but show the card.

                  Mine won't even do anything other than send me to the App Store

                          Interesting article in light of the current release of iPhone 5. This is from 2011, but, after seeing the new Samsung "attack ads" during the games today, I thought it was a relevant post.

                            I like that.  😉

                            "Many people try to make a product that everybody will love; Microsoft is a good example," he explains. "If you make a product that everybody loves – you do all your market surveys, and when people don't like something about it you change it – you end up with a bland product that everybody will accept but nobody truly loves."

                            Apple isn't like that, he says. "Apple says 'We're not going to even worry about it. We're going to make something that we ourselves love. We just assume that anything that we really love, lots and lots of people will love. And if other people really dislike it and hate it, so what. Tough on them.'"

                              Passbook isn't a stand alone app. It's really not supposed to do anything other than be a "wallet" for other apps. Other apps load cards into Passbook so you can use them in stores (via the on screen QR codes).

                              So, once you load the Walgreens card, that card is now ready to use. The store can scan the QR code attached to that card on the phone rather than having to carry the physical card. Your brother probably doesn't have any other passes in his passbook so that's the only one showing up.

                              The real issue is that Passbook requires infrastructure within the retailers that use it (devices to scan your phone). For instance, Fandango has Passbook support so you can send your ticket to Passbook and the theater can just scan your phone on entry. But not many theaters have that yet.

                              So if developers and retailers choose to use it, it could be cool.

                                        Seriously - how many people have gotten themselves lost because of the Map app? It needs work, but really, who cares?

                                        Rather they spend the time fixing the Podcast app anyway. That thing's been crap since day 1.
