What Google is doing is smart thinking on their part. Despite Apple being their competitor they go out their way to bring google software to ios. This is both free advertisement and when iPhone users pick up a galaxy or other Google device they have software that they are familiar with that will still work with their iPads (if they have one). Apple making their software mostly exclusive to iOs and Mac (I know you can download iTunes for PC) they missed out on an opportunity. When I first converted to android doing the Droid days I was begging for iTunes along with many ( Itunes like App for Droid Android Forum at DroidForums.net ) Yet Apple kept their noses in the air and lost out on potential customers and money. Meanwhile people kept trying to solve how to provide an itunes like experience for android and Google solved it with what I would argue is the better of the two.
