Shouldn't you be petitioning Apple instead? They're the ones who took it away.

How do you know that? Apple and Google had an agreement which expired this year. Any side can be responsible.

Well more importantly, both sides will have to be "responsible" for a new app to become available. Google has to make it, and then Apple has to allow it into the app store. So that's going to be fun.

After the last time Apple cock blocked a Google App and nearly ended up in court, they'll play nice I imagine.

Are you sure? Putting Maps aside, Apple is currently dragging their feet (or worse) over Google Voice Search:

Note the current Google Search app on iTunes (last updated on June 21, 2012 as of this writing, despite Google's announcement):

I'd forgotten that, strange that Google has mentioned anything either.
