I still think Apple is trying to build a more favorable deal with Google. From Apple's perspective they have the most widely used mobile web device in terms of actual usage. Nokia, RIM, etc sell more units but the iPhone dominates mobile usage. Google is already the default search & map provider for the iPhone delivering tens of millions of users and probably hundreds of millions of ad views to Google. Perhaps Google Voice could be a default also? What if Apple were willing to either build the functionality into the core software or simply pre-install the GV app on every iPhone? Maybe Apple feels like they are becoming the real mobile gateway to the Internet and might deserve a bigger slice of Google's pie? I'm not endorsing this theory as good business but it makes a lot of sense to me.
