Meh. According to Ars Technica's Erica Sadun, the App Store is littered with apps calling unpublished APIs.

Google admits to it. Google admits breaking App Store rules. It seems that Google did have a gun pointed at Apple's head. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1...

I'm not quite sure why there is so much concern here.
Clearly both Apple and Google have partnered in various areas to their mutual benefit, and as with most business partnerships, there is certainly going to be certain information shared between them as well as cooperation and favoritism.

I see nothing out of the ordinary going on here. I also suspect that Apple might give special treatment to any application where it provides extraordinary value (as determined by Apple) to the platform and their customers.

Producing a short video teaser is a hallowed tradition. About as hallowed as strong-arming a distributor into carrying your product. I don't see a reason to cry foul here.

But the point in Gruber's post is that there exist some really nifty features on the iPhone that are only accessible via Apple's private APIs.

conspiracy theories are rarely worth the time to read.
