But 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,” (via http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/googles-eric-schmidt-says-the-ball-is-in-apples-court-for-google-now-on-iphone-and-ipad/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/21/googles-eric-schmidt-says-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.

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

    If Apple hadn't said anything, in a few weeks we'd see people complaining about evil Apple holding back their precious Google product.

TechCrunch reporting on misrepresentation of a quote that TechCrunch originally read too much into? This is my surprised face.

Sure, but if the app hasn't been submitted, then what is there to discuss with Apple? What is he talking about?

  I got the impression that he was talking in generalities.
