One of the big inclusions in Apple's iOS 6 software announced yesterday is an entirely revamped Maps application. No longer will Apple be using Google Maps, but instead running their own application that includes plenty of new features including turn-by-turn directions. Digging a little deeper, it appears that Apple has partnered with none other than TomTom who will supply the mapping and traffic data for the application. TomTom seems to be winning out all around - back in May they announced a partnership with RIM and their plans to bring new mapping features to the BlackBerry 10 platform. iOS 6 is only available to developers as a beta until the fall, so it will be interesting to see which mapping application wins out when both officially release later this year. In the past we've really only had Google Maps or BlackBerry Maps to work with -- do you think TomTom will win you over and be awesome on BlackBerry 10?

Android 4.2. iOS 6. Windows Phone 8. I want BlackBerry 10!
Anyone who knows me or cares to find out, knows I'm not strictly a BlackBerry user. I use numerous OS' throughout the run of my day. A lot of the time, I take some heat for that. People get mad and unfollow me on Twitter and say things like 'Dude, you're Android..I thought you were BlackBerry'.
