Apple stay with Google's Search for two reasons:
1. It's the best search product.
2. Google give them bucket-loads of cash
This isn't rocket surgery.
- fpgeek 14y agoIn the alternative universe where Google didn't do Android, Apple would be able to extract more cash from Google for its search placement, at the very least, since Google would have fewer alternatives.
- coob 14y agoYes but as soon as you get into the land of hypotheticals, Symbian can be a successful product Google would lust over. Doesn't make it likely.
