Google has been releasing iOS apps for its mail, maps and plenty of other services. It was today that Google released its brand new Maps app for iPhone and iPod Touch which brought voice navigation and better maps experience to the users. However, if you’re on Windows Phone 8 or Windows 8 and is hoping for these apps to hit your platform, then you probably should keep your expectations low. Google may not be interested in these platforms just yet.
Clay Bavor, a Google Product Manager made it clear that they aren’t interested to invest on Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 at the moment. He said,
We have no plans to build out Windows apps. We are very careful about where we invest and will go where the users are but they are not on Windows Phone or Windows 8. If that changes, we would invest there, of course
So you may have to stick on to default ro third party apps for now until Google debuts their apps.
