The war between Google and Apple is a tough one, also because from their great friendship, Steve Jobs (CEO Apple Inc.) and Eric Schmidt (CEO Google Inc.) became more than rivals now, as Apple's boss released a press statement saying that Google wants to destroy iPhone's reign with features that this mobile phone brought on the market.

The beautiful story started three years ago, at the MacWorld event, when Eric Schmidt got up on the stage to shake Jobs' hand and to assure him of his help in producing the revolution called iPhone. Google deveoped Google Maps for iPhone back then, and the collaboration went higher until Nexus One was released last year.

Jokes between the two of them are now difficult to imagine, as both Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt tried to accuse the other company of different things. There's definitely a war between the two companies, especially about the future of mobile technology. Apple even sued the taiwanese mobile phone producer, HTC, because it's using Android and it's not respecting Apple's patents. Many consider this as being the start of the end for Google on the market of mobile phones.

Android vs. iPhone has been (and will still be) a tough battle for the supremacy of the best smartphone. There’s no doubt that either of them could win this competition, but many people think that Android and iPhone can’t be separated by some criteria. I’m not a fan of Android or iPhone, but a fan of Blackberry, so I am seeing this battlefield from an outside point of view.

In the last few months, the interest of the consumers in Android OS was matched just by iPhone, which still holds a healthy lead. Anyway, Android shows an impressive growth in charts, comparing to iPhone, which stagnates. It is widely predicted that Android will go far beyond iPhone’s results.
But wait! Many expect Android to outsmart iPhone, but don’t put Apple behind just yet. Don’t forget that Apple earned the honor of the most profitable handset vendor in the world, so the competition isn’t over yet. Even if Android will outplace iPhone, Apple’s pride will not fade just like that.
