“Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Monday that Google and Apple Inc. are working together on ‘many more’ new projects, which he did not identify. Schmidt made his comments at a technology conference in San Francisco,” Ben Charny reports for MarketWatch.
Charny reports, “Schmidt said Google and Apple are ‘doing more and more things together. We have similar goals, similar competitors.’ Already, Google’s search features are to be standard on the iPhone, a cell phone Apple plans to release soon. Schmidt is also on Apple’s board of directors.”

Didn’t they mention “Apple Goo” jokingly? Hmmm.
Ok, now just arrest Bill gates and shut down Mafiasoft… but then that would be a perfect world…
HILARIOUS CHAIR ART!!!!
Goople?

Gil is quicker than I am. He’s probably less than half my age.
iGoogle
iLife as a suite of web apps
As I recall the iPhone standard search was Yahoo. Which I thought was weird. So what’s with saying it’s Google? And what was with them doing anything with Yahoo?
@Cheesy Mac
I’ve been thinking that the next route to get switchers would be to get them using a few other Mac programs beyond iTunes.
Then I was wondering how AppleTV was going to work on PC with photos, etc…
Dude, I think you got it. iLife as web apps.
hmmm…. maybe.
les, so do I!!!
.Mac and Google integration?
Goodness knows, .Mac needs some improvements, and Google has jumped way ahead.
Here are some possibilities:
1. iCal/.mac calendar/google calendar integration (with apologies to spanning sync, who have been working hard to make this happen)
2. Mail/.mac mail/gMail integration
3. iWork/google apps (writely/presently/worksheets) (this will hedge Apple’s bets if/when Microsoft stops making Office for Mac)
4. Others?
@shogun
Wasn’t it Yahoo mail and Google Maps?
I speculate that Google might be working on a specialized version of Google Apps for iPhone. And I mean a standalone program, not just using the browser to access the program. If this were the case, inclusion of Google Apps on iPhone would provide even more incentive for businesses to get iPhones.
@Spark
“Wasn’t it Yahoo mail and Google Maps?”
Yes, but, on Safari, search is Google.
‘Similar Competitors’ = Micro$oft
please let there be a gps/google maps/google earth/directions navigator. that would be nice, thank you.
Maybe Apple TV and iPhone will have a YouTube incorporation of some kind. I really think Apple will have some kind of integration with YouTube….now that Google owns YouTube.
@Rick
You’re right, but Shogun was referencing iPhone apps. Hence my reply.
Hmm. I love the smell of vaporware baking in the morning!
Love the chair toss.
Maybe Ballmer can get it qualified as a sport by the next Olympics.
MDN magic word: “pressure” hahahaha.
Huh?
I agree. It’s all vaporware.
mw: anything
yea, could be anything…
“Many more” new projects.
Can anyone provide a list of past projects between Apple and Google that represented commercial success? My memory isn’t as robust as it once was.
