Comments on news posted 2007-06-23 10:55:34: For awhile, rumors about a Google phone were all the rage. But it quickly began to look like the supposed GooglePhone would not be able to compete with the iPhone. And if you can’t beat ‘em, you join ‘em. ..

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.

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."

I would wet my pants if Google would create a .mac work-alike and make it free, and somehow have the blessing of Apple.

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)

Re: Google is an information/application company

I personally think that once Google has the information pipeline where they want it, they will go into hardware big time. One thing they have unique to them is almost a cult following which for the large part has made Apple what it is today.

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.

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.

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

Jobs needs to get off his high horse and sell OSX to the general public, i bet if done right it would work out fine and be stable still.
