Or eerily similar to iTunes and OSX? or Windows and Media Player? Every OS comes with some pre-installed apps. By itself, that doesn't prove any kind of foul play. Also, the TC article is wildly inaccurate in a number of ways. Google places isn't new, but it's integration as part of Maps is. Previously it was a seperate app called Places Directory, that's been on the Android Market for at least a year. And Places Directory has had Yelp reviews for quite some time, I know because I've used Places Directory a lot.
