Apple and Google talking again?

We know that Apple and Google used to be partners, working together on many projects. Most of the best apps on the iPhone were developed by Google. There were many reports that the Google founders used to visit Steve Jobs when the company was in its infant stage. Lately their relationship had gone south, mostly because of Android. Apple is doing well with the iPhone, and may be Google got jealous or realized the importance of smartphones and mobile devices to future of their advertisement business, or both. Google got into the mobile business and truth be told Android is doing well. So well that almost every mobile devices maker that matters have one or more Android powered phones on the shelves now.

I, for one, have being enjoying the drama that is going on, but that drama may soon be over. Gizmodo is reporting that Google and Apple might have started talking again. They have an image of Eric Schmidt and Steve Job sharing a coffee table, shown above. So lets just wait and see.

Palm going Android

Things have not be going well for Palm lately.  Their smartphone is not selling in the market, their stock price has drop down to around $4, and just like any company, they are looking for a way to safe themselves. Well, it seems Android is an option. According to a report by Wired.com, Palm may be ditching their WebOS for Android. So, next time you buy a Palm device it may be running Android OS.

While Palm is incredibly proud of our engineers who spent timeless work and effort to bring us this advanced operating system, consumers simply have not caught on. To provide a better future for ourselves and our customers, the only logical choice is to transition our hardware and software to the Android platform.

Should it be right, them Apple need to really watch out.

iPad

In a few days the hottest piece of electronics in the market will be the iPad. Well, maybe not what we all are waiting for, but none of us was waiting for the iPhone, either. So just like the iPhone, am predicting that the iPad will pick up. Some people will like it, especially moms and students. That makes the name iPad a valuable brand, that’s worth a few dollars, maybe more. According to Mashable, Apple as acquired the name from Fujitsu. Fujitsu has being in possession of the name since 2003. Nobody is sure how much Apple dropped to get the name away from Fujitsu, but next time you plan on using the name iPad get ready to pay Apple or get sued.
