Back in June, Apple unveiled iOS 6 with much fan fair: the release included great long-expected additions, which included the big surprise of ditching Google Maps for Apple’s own system. While great additions were brought to the table, Maps in sixth generation iOS has had its own share of post-launch issues and inaccuracies (for London users, as an example, all of the Underground stations magically disappeared from an iOS version to another). Google has seized this opportunity to bring back its Maps to the iPhone, this time as a standalone map. Overall, we think you should give it a look.

One of the products announced was the iPhone 4S, which will be also be available on Sprint, in addition to Verizon and AT&T.
Over the last few months, we've seen several pre-release seeds of iOS 5 but no indication on when we'd finally see the final version, and without any surprise, today at their media event, Apple has seeded the final Gold Master candidate of iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
