imageGoogle and Microsoft Competing For iPhone Search Deal?

We had heard rumors that Apple might replace Google search with Bing or might be building its own search engine, but Sillicon Valley Insider had reported that it was unlikely as Apple is getting over $100 million a year from Google for the iPhone Search deal. However, that doesn’t seem...

    Actually I downloaded Bing from the German appstore a couple of months ago.

    If the iPhone becomes a Microsoft platform, well, my contract with AT&T was up six months ago. I'd switch to an Android phone.

    I will never use MSN Search, Live Search or any other crummy Microsoft service of the like.

    Maybe I'm just use to Google since it's the only search engine I've used this decade, but when I'm on a friend's computer who has some silly Bing! Toolbar and/or Yahoo! Toolbar as well, I try it out and I can never seem to find what I'm looking for. Often time's I'm left wondering if they even have a faint understanding of what I'm searching for.

    Google on the other hand always has exactly what I'm looking for in the first couple slots and their mobile site, App, and the rest of their services top all else.

    To me Bing, like most other Microsoft services and products lately, just seems like a late (and lame at that) attempt to recapture lost market share (which to me they lost for a reason).

    That's actually what I like about Google - not too much graphic on the page. Since it's a search engine the faster it's loading the better. But nice to hear some input from someone who doesn't only use Google :o)

    its a funny decision for apple though
    choose google the new and upcoming rival in their mobile phone and smartphone industry who is many times smaller than them
    or choose microsoft the guys theyve been competing with from day one of their computer company a company many times the size of apple

    For all the fucktards who say they will leave this company for that blah blah... If you like a product use it - you whining bitches. Google, Apple, & MS in some why or another have always worked together.
