You are incredibly sure you know more about this than me, despite the fact that I was there and saw it all unfold from the inside. Yes, Apple blocked Google's maps app. That's why when Latitude launched, it launched as a web app on iOS despite having a much inferior user experience to a native app.

As for people making no money off of Android phones, come on, are you serious? That's completely delusional iOS fandom: Samsung alone makes around $2.5 billion a quarter off of their mobile division. The idea that Apple is the only one making mobile profits is bizarre and wrong, but also strange for another reason: why would customers want Apple to make huge profits? That's good only for Apple shareholders and bad for iPhone users, who have (as far as I recall) never seen prices fall despite the actual hardware becoming massively cheaper. Someone is a sucker here, but it isn't anyone buying or selling Android phones!
