Wishes Coming True?

It was just 57 days ago that I posted my iOS 6 Wishlist and it seems as if my wishes might be coming true.  It has been nearly confirmed that there will be a new mapping service with iOS 6 and that Apple will be ditching Google Maps.  While I’m sad to see Google Maps take a hike, I have confidence that Apple’s offering is going to be a significant and worthy opponent to Google’s mapping service.  And in order to do this, Apple will need to offer turn-by-turn navigation, another item on my wishlist, just to have the same functionality as Google Maps for Android.  What else was on my list?  Better Siri.  If you didn’t catch Tim Cook’s interview at the D10 conference, he mentioned that there is a lot that Siri can do, that they’ve got some great ideas for Siri, and that there are great things coming in the next coming months.

The only other item that was on my list is a better Mail app.  I have no evidence to prove that it is or isn’t happening, but even if it isn’t I would say that 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.  Let’s see if these materialize!
