"As noticed by 9 to 5 Mac, Apple has posted a new job listing for an iOS 
Maps Application Developer who can help "radically improve" the Maps 
application and other location-based services."


   The comments are most interesting -- no mention of OpenStreetMap 
until nearly the last page.

I guess they'll radically improve their maps by only allowing those bits 
of OSM to be shown on the device that have been created by people who 
signed an agreement with Apple, and that have been passed muster by the 
compliance agents at the gate to the iWhatever store ;)


Bye
Frederik
