Of the newly introduced Google Latitude for iPhone, which is a web application:

We worked closely with Apple to bring Latitude to the iPhone in a way Apple thought would be best for iPhone users. After we developed a Latitude application for the iPhone, Apple requested we release Latitude as a web application in order to avoid confusion with Maps on the iPhone, which uses Google to serve maps tiles.

This is one of the major issues with developing apps for iPhone. Apple tells you they won't accept it after you have done all your hard work, and this ought not to be underestimated. The only thing that is a bit surprising is that Apple has the balls to give the same crap to Google.
