Those Google employees are just trolling. It will be on the App store and everyone is going to download it.
Freaking pessimists
More Google FUD. They really have learned well from 90's Microsoft. Play off of others fears to hide your own evil intentions. Google doesn't want to make a good mapping app for iOS because mapping is a clear differentiator between iOS and Android.
Did Google Voice ever leave "in approbation" limbo ?
Was there for months, and we never really heard about it again (I'm still waiting for the official Canadian release of the service though, thanks CRTC !).
I don't think Apple will deny approval. Why would Apple do so? They have approved Google search, which competes with Siri
Sounds ridiculous, Apple would have little choice but to approve it given the problems it has with its own offering. The longer they leave it the more chance Apple has of getting their maps to a reasonable level where it clould be reasonably argued it just duplicates functionality in iOS. Personally I think this is just Google spreading FUD and making noise to draw attention to itself, while also trying to persuading some fence sitters to finally turn to Android.
What do you mean, poor Google? Poor US! the USERS! Who would be stuck with a single solution, Apple Maps, which is missing _a lot_ of data, lacks street view, and doesn't have an equivalent desktop solution to sync data to.
Having said that, I bet Apple approves the app, just like they did approve chrome, and just like they approved other map apps which are present in the App Store. I don't understand why they point to existing map apps to say that it is unlikely theirs will be approved!
Yeah because their other apps are so terrible, with their better voice recognition, insanely fast video and speak in and out live translation. Google's obviously phoning it in.
If you all want Google Maps then why not switch to an Android smartphone? Seriously?
Sigh why can I see Google slipping in a very clear and obvious violation just for the sake of Apple having to reject it, so that it can make the news.
Something really silly too that's an easy fix and not even necessary.

Apple Maps have served me well. I'm not fussed about a Google map app.
Lack of good Android hardware, significant money spent on iOS apps, contract terms?

Exactly, I highly doubt that Apple would not approve it
How is the GSIII with its QUAD core processor lack of good Android hardware? I know the Note 2 is a big but the hardware in that is excellent. Blowing any future iPhone right out of the water.
That's what we need...less choice.
I can understand Apple wanting to remove Google from the iPhone in favor of their own mapping solution, but the way they are going about it is how a 5 year old child would.
