And Google has said it is not coming out with a map app!

(I have an iPad and won't update since YouTube disappears as well as there is only an iPhone version of the app).

Google said it wasn't started yet as they didn't expect Apple to toss them out yet. But there will be one coming.

That's not what this says: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/25/us-google-iphone-idUSBRE88O07U20120925

Read the quote not the headline.

"We have not done anything yet,"

Plus later in that day in response to reports it was actually underway but very early on.....

"We believe Google Maps are the most comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world," a Google spokesperson wrote via email. "Our goal is to make Google Maps available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of device, browser, or operating system."

Its coming. Every other primary Google services exists on iPhone and Google's entire profit line centers on users using google services and eventually seeing google's ads.

It appears that Google is being cagey after being blind-sides by Apple's decision to drop Google support early.

It also appears that Apple is being bit on the butt for not being ready with a proper replacement in its effort to battle its rival.

Finally, if Apple were to reject a Google Maps app on competitive grounds, it would open itself up to anti-trust violiations (in my lay opinion). Thus exepect that app to fly through the process once it is ready (the same way the iPhone YouTube app did).
