Apple doesn't have the scale to do web services like that. Yes they have MobileMe, but that's very different - people pay for it which makes up for inefficiencies. Google (and even Microsoft and Yahoo) are very efficient (cost-wise) when it comes to web services compared to Apple. Now, there is always the possibility that Apple will replace Google with a competitor in Safari should Google's agreement become less lucrative for them.
Seriously, their evidence is Apple not liking Android? If it were a real fight Google wouldn't be developing for the iPhone awesome stuff like the street view that auto-pans as you move the phone. Companies both compete and cooperate all the time. Toyota sells hybrid technology to Ford and also produces cars that compete with Ford's. Likewise, Apple and Google will both cooperate and compete.
