Submission + - Windows Phone users bloked from accessing Google maps (neowin.net)
screwing around with Windows Phone apps access to YouTube and is killing off EAS support for free Gmail accounts, it’s likely safe to say this was probably not an accident.
It’s unclear as to why Google has gone all anti-Microsoft as of recent but it may have to do with Microsoft turning the screws on Android vendors and forcing patent royalties to be paid for each device sold. Either way, the consumer is once again harmed as these two giants try to become the mobile alpha-dog.
You can still access maps via http://maps.google.co.uk/ in desktop mode, but who knows how long that will last
