would you apple?


Would you apple?


Rumor has it, apple is working on its own search engine as well. http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=6800&tag=nl.e539


And, Google will not be the default search option in their latest iPad or iSlate or iWhatever. It may even be pushed down to their other products to be removed as an option.


Why does everybody jump in to search bandwagon? I would write a new post for that - Watch out for that.


But one thing that impressed me was how easily some of the really cool technology giants interfaced and used each other products - for eg.
1) Apple having google as the default search option.
2) Mozilla having google as its default search provider in the browser tab
3) Motorola using Android OS (Google mobile OS) to build its new range of smart mobile phones.


Now all of these synchronization (or) integration stands at tender hooks, which can or may fall off soon. 


Possible reason :- 


Google launching Nexus one - mobile phone that is targeted at the mobile market
Google launching Chrome browser - that is targeted at the browser market.


Google was tipped to target and hit the Mighty Microsoft - and it did, and does. For chrome OS is going to come out as well. Their first success was the search (away) from Microsoft and the Gmail.


However, Google now is treading in to the market space of its technology friends - who may not like it and severe their association with google.


Let us just wait and watch this space.
