Apple and Google--Sweet Soul Music Y'all
News of impending project partnerships between Google and Apple is currently flying under the radar. News of Apple's impending release of Leopard and new products along with Google's apparent problems with YouTube have taken precedence. However, longer term, this partnership is going to be great for both of these best of breed companies (Internet Search and Hardware). Apple's track record with "partnerships" is not great but in this instance, I think there will be a great fit because of the similar cultures, mutual respect and non-competitive goals of each company. This is just great for an investor in both companies. Sweet soul music Y'all! (with respect, Arthur Conley).
On the Google front, a lot of kaka has appeared in the news about its problems with YouTube. A lot of "so-called expert" financial analysts have questioned Google's $1.5B acquisition of YouTube in light of the $1B Viacom law suit and a recently announced new YouTube competitor, a partnership backed by NBC(Universal) and News Corp.(Fox) aimed at creating a new online video site. Horse shite! When media giants begin to realize that it will be in their best financial interests to partner with YouTube rather than compete, YouTube will start "printing money" and continue to fuel Google's explosive growth.

Here's an article from yesterday's Information week entitled "Yahoo And Microsoft Fight For Mobile Search While Google Pushes For The Entire Third Screen". I think this begs the question--Will the iPhone play a prominent role in Googles' attempt to capture the mobile phone search market? You can safely bet your entire classic James Brown/Low Rawls/Otis Reading album collections on it.
