Well, they would do, given that Apple’s handset could make them even more squillions of dollars of revenue in the coming years. But Google’s top execs have been speaking out about their love for the iPhone anyway, with co-president Sergey Brin waxing lyrical about the new My Location feature on Google Maps.“I was at a conference in Switzerland. 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.”
Meanwhile, chief executive Eric Schmidt had more business issues behind his praise of the handset (although he is on Apple’s board of directors, it’s worth noting). “The iPhone is the first of a whole generation of products that will be much more search intensive. With those search opportunities comes ad monetization.”
Will Google be so keen to talk up the iPhone when the first handsets based on its own Android mobile platform appear later this year though?
