Quoted: Seems the top complaint so far is that our map doesn’t zoom. We know. It was a hard decision but we made some implementation choices early on that ended us up on a “you cannot get there from here” spot on performance of the map when zooming so we disabled it for the first release.

Seems they will make their 10 million in a year number.

Quoted: Google has unveiled a web-based version of its Google Talk instant messaging client specifically built for the iPhone. Quite simply: It’s amazing — but it has limitations.

Sigh. I checked earlier tonight in fact for an iPhone optimized version of MSN's Web Messenger. No luck. If there's not a Live Messenger client in the App Store on day one, I am going to be pissed.
