Google Loves the iPhone

Saul Hansell of New York Times Technology Blog reports that Sergey Brin, Google’s co-president, enjoyed using his iPhone (and especially the Google Maps function) while traveling in Switzerland for Davos’ World Economic Forum. “I was able to find a really small hotel, then switch over to the satellite view on my phone to figure out I needed to take a funicular to get up there. It was a really amazing experience,” says Brin.
“The iPhone is the first of a whole generation of products that will be much more search intensive,” says Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, “With those search opportunities comes ad monetization.”
It is well known that currently Google is working on it’s own Android mobile operating system, and doesn’t seem to be hindered at all by the iPhone’s success, in fact it seems they’re getting inspiration for what the mobile experience will, hopefully, be more like in the future.
