Ooh, I would be super excited about that!! I use maps a lot, and while the navigation part has been good, the rest of the new maps sucks.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am looking forward to hearing how the Google maps work. I've put off my upgrade.

Apple Maps has given me pretty good turn by turn directions, but the maps in some areas aren't as detailed as I would like.
I downloaded the app already!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How can I get my hands on some of the apps that come with the Note? I'm not talking about the exact stuff, but similar functions. I'd love to play with the Best Face head swapping, and Photo Note where you can write on the "back" of your pictures is a cute conceit.

I like the Evernote upgrade: it's much easier to read the text, for my aging eyes.

On which platform? OS X had a radical retooling about a month ago, but Windows still looks the old way as of the last time I used it.
I'm going through the Trunk and poking at things that integrate with it. iOS definitely gets the best toys, but I'm not going to be sulky.
I'm still in love with it, in a way I can't say about Astrid right now, because it's tripling my to do items and not clearing them (unless I check them off on my phone, the phone syncs and overrides the changes--even changes from the web interface).

How often do you guys update apps on your phone? I probably do it once or twice a day, which is irritating, but less irritating than seeing the numbers climb.
