Unfortunately I think the author of the article did too…
The article alleges that Apple may switch the iPhone’s search provider from Google to Microsoft because of a personal distaste of Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) toward Google – or more specifically towards Eric Schmidt (Google’s CEO).
The article breezes over the point that Microsoft may be willing to pay Apple more than Google which would be infinitely more compelling of a reason.
Both options strike me as curious though – seeing as while Apple and Google are increasingly becoming competitors with Google’s foray into mobile phone devices / operating systems, but let’s not forget – Microsoft and Apple aren’t exactly best buddies either…
