Google Maps returns to the iPhone, iPod Touch
When Apple launched its new mobile operating system iOS 6, it dropped Google Maps in favor of its own mapping. Users complained of missing landmarks, wrong directions and the lack of public transportation directions. Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized to customers a week later and said the company was working to make Maps better. However, the senior vice president of iOS software Scott Forstall reportedly refused to join in Cook's apology and stepped down. Rumors then circulated over whether or not Google Maps would return to the iPhone. But on Wednesday, the search giant released Google Maps for iPhones. The app is built by Google, not Apple, so it has a different look and feel than the previous version of Google Maps. "We started from scratch," said Daniel Graf, mobile director of Google Maps. Google engineers started working on the new app before the company's Sept.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
