Rumors have circulated over the last couple days that Google may be interested in buying Apple.

Is this just speculation or is there more? however, you must have noticed how Apple and Google have been teaming recently. We just note the following:

  • Google CEO Eric Schmidt sits on Apple’s Board of Directors;
  • They have a same enemy (Microsoft);
  • The companies have a similar culture;
  • Apple produces great looking hardware which is easy to use and appealed to the mass and Google has the data to fuel these innovative applications;
  • The new Apple TV software enables users to navigate YouTube to look for videos;
  • The iPhone got an integrated Google search, Google Mapsa and Google mail.
  • And Google’s popular video-sharing Web site YouTube will be accessible for the upcoming iPhone.

For sure, it would be a great victory for Apple and Steve Jobs; they’d get great partners, lots of money, and skilled engineers.

For now, we see a merger or an Acquisitionthis as improbable. But who knows.
