| I see Google and Apple partnering for MORE and MORE
Until there is an inevitable merger.
Sound crazy? Maybe. But Google wants to rule the world. Google wants to take on Microsoft (which, in certain areas, they are dominating...)
What better way to spit in Microsoft's face than to acquire Apple? I'm not sure Google has the money to do it, but if they did...prepare for chaos. I'm sure it's been talked about.

@verizon.net | Google is an information/application company
They don't want to be getting too much into the hardware business.. their main mission is information embedded into as many technologies as possible. Paid for by spammers (I mean advertisers) |

Actually, they just outsourced the only hardware business they were in - building Google search appliances(PC servers) for businesses. They outsourced that to Dell.

I don't think that they have any plans to get in to the hardware business for the reasonable future.

What better way to spit in Microsoft's face than to acquire Apple? I'm not sure Google has the money to do it, but if they did...prepare for chaos. I'm sure it's been talked about. Exactly. When I saw the YouTube being promoted, I saw Google exerting the influence. Also, maybe to get AT&T off the get Google to pay for bandwidth deal. And, YouTube video is just the right size of video for the iPhone. I do think Google wants to kill Microsoft, just slowly. With that bloated crap called Vista, they gotta shot!
I don't see the iPhone winning over IT departments like RIM did with the Blackberry. The iPhone is aimed at the, umm, stupid willing to pay big cha-ching! for the latest craze. "My iPhone has a 60 gig HD now." "Gee, that was so 60 gigs ago. Mine is 120."
"Well, mine has a port for a DVD drive. I can watch a DVD on the ride home from my second job to pay for the thing."

Hardware fabrication, yes. Google still retains the design piece.

Re: Google is an information/application company
I like Google, but I'll never buy an overpriced piece of equipment like the Mac, regardless of what name you slap on it. The only way to become a Microsoft killer in the hardware arena is to compete on price. As long as Apple continues to market itself as "we're better, but you gotta pay alot more for better", the status quo will remain unchanged. |
