On Monday Steve Jobs will be speaking at Apple’s developer conference in San Francisco. He will probably tell us more about Leopard, new iPods and the iPhone, which will be shipped to AT&T in the USA on June 29. But Fred Vogelstein from Wired.com says he believes Steve Jobs will also announce a partnership between Apple and Google. Both companies have been hinting about this for months. Apple TV even has a channel for the Google-owned website YouTube. A partnership would make perfect sense, because Apple is far behind on his online services, although the company produces very popular hardware products. Google, on the other hand, has both a very good hardware and great popular Internet offerings. If Apple and Google partnered they would also form an alliance against Microsoft, which tries badly to get into the profitable market of Internet search and targeted ad links.
