Google gets a love tap from Apple!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Nov 16 2008

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?
