#2keeping it a secret until its actually released?
Re: Apple Says Google Now Not Submitted To The App Store
#3Either way, all signs point to Google Now showing up in the app store soon. Google (via Eric Schmidt's evidently mistaken comments) wouldn't say this if it wasn't at least ready to go, and Apple probably wouldn't comment now if they weren't going to let it in.

#4The Google Now app on Android is probably one of the best crafted, smoothest experiences i have seen, no comparison to the crappy facebook app. So, let's hope it will have a similar quality on iOS! :)

#5But Eric Schmidt did not say that the app was submitted:
“You’ll need to discuss that with Apple” (at around 17:50). “Apple has a policy of approving or disapproving apps that are submitted into its store, and some of them they approve and some of them they don’t,”

That's because it's PR spin, and Apple is getting out in front of it to shoot it down before the circlejerk starts.

It's really easy to read that comment as meaning "we've submitted it, ball's in Apple's court". And I'm sure Schmidt knew that when he said it.

Are you sure you aren't talking about the Google+ app, which is a better comparison to Facebook (and about which I agree: it's just fantastically great).
Google Now is, actually, one of the core Android features about which I care the least. On my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus, it's really quite slow (3-4 seconds to do anything when I try to click on the search bar or swipe it up from the bottom of the screen). The default cards are at best only mildly useful, though sometimes impressive: it will tell me driving times to places that I just searched for, it will tell me the weather, it will warn me about notable traffic on the way home. Amusingly it just alerted me to the fact that Adria Richards had been fired by SendGrid.
Basically: it occasionally impresses me, but doesn't actually help me all that much. It just doesn't enter my radar most of the time. Even as a search interface it's too slow to be my primary gateway: I'll preferentially pull up chrome and type the search into the URL bar there.

It's much too vague and subtle to warrant an official statement in my opinion.

Out of curiosity, which 10.1 do you use? I've been on CM 10 stable since it came out, but I'm not sure what's stable recently.
