Bing To Become Default iPhone Search?

snydeq writes "BusinessWeek reports ongoing talks between Apple and Microsoft to make Bing the default search engine for the iPhone. The discussions reflect an accelerating rivalry between Apple and Google, one that some believe will be the most important rivalry in tech in the years to come. 'Apple and Google know the other is their primary enemy,' says one person familiar with Apple's thinking. 'Microsoft is now a pawn in that battle.'"

    But we don't make our decisions based purely on quality - for instance I buy fair trade coffee knowing full well it doesn't taste as good as Lavazza. So I guess people will continue to use Goggle because Microsoft have been raping the landscape for so long . . .

    I make my decisions on quality - fairtrade coffee is horrible(massive generalisation poss)- I keep trying it but now I have the nice stuff - hmmmm yummy proper coffee and check out coffeegeek for proper coffee
