Google announced an update today to its Android OS for Nexus One phones that would enable the pinch-to-zoom multi-touch feature for the first time in a few Google apps: Maps, Gallery, and the Web Browser.
But Apple and Google reportedly had a gentleman’s agreement that Android wouldn’t encroach on what Apple believed to be its property. With Apple and Google now fighting, all bets are apparently off.
Steve Jobs is obviously mad at them for trying to "kill the iPhone." and supposedly said: "We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake: they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them." And then added that Google's "Don't be evil" mantra is bullshit.
While this might seem like simple gossip, I can't help but delight in the idea of a potential battle between these two giants, both of whom have a very solid fan base.
And who knows, perhaps this might be the beginning of an iSearch...
