Well this is downright silly since none of those apps exist, not to mention none are useful. Also, you didn't even mention that Google pulled SMS Barrage from the Market.

I don't think Google would ban an app that redirects to Bing. For the relatively small number of users who preferred Bing, it would be better to let them use it than get bad publicity from CNET by banning such an app.

Those app in question was banned at T-Mobile's request. If you have an Android device on a different carrier, or are running a different Firmware Build, you will get different Android Market products from others. however, with only one device so far, few people have come to realize this.

YouTube Downloader by Sirius Applications was pulled from the market. Probably because google owns youtube???
