Many of the Google Apps depend on APIs that aren't in the open source
distribution (e.g. for login). If you are interested, there is quite a
bit of discussion on the android-platform list
(http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform) around what to do
about the missing APIs and applications.

I've been working on an open source clone of the proprietary Google
Maps API. The code is here: http://gitorious.org/android-maps-api It
should be included in upcoming daily and weekly builds for the
android-on-freerunner project.
