Google to be Replaced by Bing as Iphone’s Search Engine

Business Week are today reporting that Apple are currently in talks with Microsoft to make Bing the default search engine for Iphone users, replacing the current search engine giant Google.  These talks come amid the hot competition between Apple and Google.

While the two companies have worked as partners in the past and Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt had a seat on Apple’s board, Apple and Google have more recently begun competing in several markets, including mobile phones. Google sells a smartphone, the Nexus One, that competes directly with the iPhone and it has spearheaded development of a wireless handset operating system that rivals the iPhone OS.”
