Things Worsening Between Apple And Google

By: George Keller

Lately we've been listening quite a lot about Apple-Google fight. The biggest of the news is the replacementof Google search engine by Bing (Microsoft). If this happens, loads in the web industry may change. That apart, there's some issue between Google and Apple about patent rights.
I didn't know this until I stumbled on to this little post on iphonehelp talking about the touch screen trouble between Apple and Google. I had believed it was search engine that was causing the entire problem, but, no, there's more to only one problem. Apple a short while ago had asked Google of keeping touch screen out of Nexus One. One would wonder why Apple doesn't file a lawsuit instead of sending out requests to Google to not incorporate touch screen option in its first cell phone venture. To tell the truth Apple has no option other than requesting- the patent rights of touch screen are not very strong. So even if Apple files a case against a manufacturer, there are good chances that Apple will lose it.
There has already been good amount of conflict between Apple and Google - remember the most recent one on Google Voice on iPhone? Apple had restrictedthis app to be used on iPhone. (Read the complete report here: GV Mobile Out on Cydia Gets Google Voice on iPhone) The problems between both the big wigs are clearly seen even if they deny accepting it.
This time around it is a little difficult to foresee anything as the two biggest tech organizations are involved in it. In past times they have also had issues around Chrome OS. Now some legal factors over touch screen application. Let’s see what the outcome will be like. Surely not a positive one (with Google in the cell phone market, issues will only worsen.)
