Everyone loves a good competition and this time Apple is bringing the heat right to the home turf of netbook makers.  Now that they’ve announced their new iPad eBook/iPod/Touch device they want to get it some attention.  Google is the largest destination for online search so it only makes sense that Apple would use Google to advertise their new creation.  With so much talk of Apple and Google not getting along it looks like the Cupertino company has no problem giving money to Google.

Netbook makers are safe.  The iPad only runs an iPhone OS, doesn’t offer multitasking, and only offers a keyboard as a separate accessory.
