If google already runs Android (a known rival to apple), what would the product release be from the 2? would they be forced to end the rivalry and make a mutual operating system by combining the two or would there still be a rivalry within the same company? hopefully though they will change the outcast, mac.

Apple is a pile of crap, like all its products, and especially like all its fanboys.

While I’d love to see google and apple come together, I don’t think it will happen. They are both wonderfully innovative companies and they could probably make some really cool stuff if they collaborated. But, here’s the thing, Steve Jobs is famously unyielding, stubborn and independent. I don’t think he is interested in having someone at google telling him what to do. I think he would fight a merger in every possible way. However, that doesn’t mean the couldn’t team up to work on some neat stuff. Jobs has shown that he is willing to partner with companies that will give him the freedom he desires, ie the iPhone/AT&T partnership.

Richard is right, Google is a ‘one-trick-pony’… and William, you sound like another in a long conga-line of Google sicophants. Apple is a real company that makes real things. What does Google make? It makes money from ads. People don’t like ads, so Google is on the wrong side of the fence on this one. Google is having its day in the sun, but a study of the conditions for disruption in market’s does not bode well for Google. ~ Plus, I think the final safe-guard against your nightmare scenario is Steve Job’s ego… Thank god for Steve Job’s ego… It drives Apple’s continued success and (i’m sure) would not allow Apple to become another arm of Google’s advertising machine.

The thing is, Google-this and Google-that aside, Google is a one trick pony. There never has been a shortage of ponies. Apple will continue to create new devices and new revenue streams. In three years Google will be surrounded by competitors who do what they do very well indeed. Instead of gaining 100% market share, Google will be greatly admired for having 25%, just as Apple will be admired for having 25% of the PC market, 50% of the smart phone market, 75% of the hand-held computer market, 60% of the DVR-TV market, and enough cash in the bank to buy god.

What rubbish are you talking about the iPhone? Saturation? They’re only selling it in 4 countries. They’ve only been selling it since June. The smartphone segment is growing fast, as it only makes up 11% of the worldwide cell market. The worldwide cell market is over 1 billion units a year. The iPhone is just a drop in this ever-growing bucket. I hardly think saturation will have hit in a few years.

Second, do you think DOJ or the EU will allow Google to buy Apple?

Third, if Google is trying to be everything to all mfrs, doesn’t having a hardware mfr conflict? If MS sells a Zune, doesn’t that poison it’s relationship with all of its hardware OEMs?

Fourth, Google and Apple have a great relationship, already, what added value does it get from buying Apple?
