Possibility of Bing Taking Google's Place as iPhone's Default Search  

With more and more competition brewing between Google and Apple, it seems ironic yet sensible that the iPhone creator may jump ship and place Microsoft's Bing search engine as the mobile device's default search engine. According to BusinessWeek, talks between the two computer companies have been progressing for a few weeks now. With the spread of Google's Android operating system and its new direct-sale Nexus One device, Google and Apple have gone from strong partners to glaring competitors in the mobile device industry. A switch to Bing would prove to be a big cut from Google's search activity, due to the ubiquity of the iPhone. Of course Apple and Microsoft are also mobile competitors too, with Windows Mobile seeing upgrades to UI and usability in recent months. It seems Apple may be choosing the lesser of two evils.
