Bing Search Coming to iPhone

Since its launch, the default search engine on the Safari browser on the iPhone has been Google. The two companies had a somewhat ‘snug’ relationship with Google CEO Eric Schmidt even being a director at Apple until he left in 2009 because of “a conflict of interest”.

Since then, competition has flared up. Apple are buying up competitors of Google to stop Google taking over the market. Also, the iPhone will very soon be pitted against the Google phone when it is released this year. So Microsoft has become Apple’s new best friend – well, Bing at least. I don’t think they’ll ever get along in the OS wars.

This latest rumour comes from Business Week who have been keeping a close eye on the development between Apple and Google.They say, “Microsoft is now a pawn in that battle”. So it looks like iPhone users will be unwittingly siding with the not-so-popular Bing for their mobile web usage!
