Google Preemptive Attack May Confirm Apple’s New 3D Maps at WWDC

Google Preemptive Attack May Confirm Apple's New 3D Maps at WWDC The Google-Apple War continues: the Android company is going to introduce their next generation of maps on June 6, just a few days before Apple is supposed to unveil iOS 6, which allegedly would include a new in-house map app.

We know that Apple is dropping Google maps in favor of their own 3D-based location services. This announcement may be a preemptive strike to take some buzz away from Apple's new iPhone and iPad maps, which I'm sure will be touted as magical by the usual suspects, thanks to baby unicorn blood and virgin amazon milk.
