  Those were early prototypes. Google didn't make it into a touch interface in a single year. The exact UI doesn't matter anyway. Apple knew they had something and they knew Google had resources to compete. Don't forget that these companies compete over hiring talent as well. Apple never, ever planned on only web apps and there's no evidence of that.
