Dissapointed with Google Maps

Today Mighty Google went down one step in my Likert Scale, let me explain a little further.

As a programmer, I like languages and APIs to do everything they should do, that is the case 99% of the time, but there's this tiny 1% when things are just not good enough. Today was the turn of google maps api.

I'm doing a map application for mobile devices and first thing i marked in my list was this google map api, just to realize some hours later that mobile devices did not fully support java script and therefore my effort was useless (reflected in a blank page in the mobile browser).

So... It's not Google's fault, but still a problem with the mobile devices, I should have done my homework first (reading the API's FAQ) before investing time on it.

Now I just hope technology start moving faster, and the Mighty Company my help us with this matter in the near future... maybe next time I should try with a G-phone.
