Google VS Apple


Google is looking to go to war against the Apple iPad. Google is already in the design phase for their own tablet that would run on the Chrome OS system. Google has been trying to break into the operating system market for the last few years and recently launched the Droid smart phone, a joint venture with Motorola. Google wants to branch out into more fields than just being a search engine. Right now it seems that they have their sights set on taking a bite out of apple.

Google is a highly successful technology company who revolutionized web searches and whose ventures continue to create new ways of using the Internet. Apple has one big advantage over Google; they have been in the computer business for over thirty years. Apple knows the computer business in and out and just how hard it is to make a really good product that people want to purchase at a premium.

Google has probably done its research and knows what they are getting into but I can’t help but think that they may get more than they bargained for. The business of service is a lot easier to manage than the business of manufacturing. Google has a lot going for it but Apple is not going to down without a fight. Where Google is going to go in the next ten years is going to be really interesting. Will they be successful? Only time will tell.

  1. to be honest I don't really like the Ipad design. I would rather have an Iphone or the Itouch because its much smaller. If Google can make a better design i think they could win.

  2. The Flag is dropped and the race is on. I agree with Leticia on he point that Apple has the experience of years of failures under it's belt. Google has used it's model to create the greatest search engine. Now lets see who can interpret the customer data that is out there already to make the best product. It will be an interesting race.
