Google gets a love tap from Apple!
Well, love tap may be a little tame, a bit more like what they do at the abattoir to your next unsuspecting steak dinner. Hitting the news earlier this week, was a new app for the iPhone, from Google and what better way to illustrate it.

Than to send you to a look at a video of the app being used. [Update: It looks like the video has been pulled, and according to CrunchGear this one's been hit on the head.]
The question has been going around this week, that the fruit company is building a search engine, and this may seem like confirmation for lots of people. How does that SDK thing go , if it replicates any of the native functions, or intended native functions of the iPhone, it’s a no go zone in the app store.
But why not just say it? Why all the skulking? Could Apple be taking a page from Stalin’s playbook? The “hushing up inconvenient news” page, not the “purge of millions of intelligentsia page,” obviously.
It’s a big No from Apple to Google, are they scared of Android? Or is this really confirmation of an iPhone based search engine. Why doesn’t Apple like Google?
Thanks to techAU for the link

It is not so much that no apps can compete with native apps. There are plenty of things in the App Store that do that now. It is more that there are certain functions and data that Apple considers to be critical to the operation of the iPhone, and Apple will not let other apps access that information. So, for example, while you can make a competing calendar program (Saisuke, or the yet to be released Pocket Informant), you cannot access the calendar database. So, the program will have to bring all of its own data along with it.

Sorry Doug, I was para-phrasing quite drastically
