Google and Apple both share a common competitor: Microsoft. And what better way to gain mutual market-share and profits than to work together? They're businesses, so anything to help them gain market-share and profits would be a boon to them.
And besides, Google and Apple are both wicked sweet companies. Imagine the intuitive user-experience and 'it just works' philosophy of Apple teamed up with the ever-expanding feature prowess of Google? Since Apple is primarily a hardware company, and Google only a software company, the relationship is even better.
Imagine the search engine power of Google teamed up with iTunes Music Store. I can't remember how many times I've heard a song on the radio, but couldn't remember the name of it to buy the CD/song. What if there was a search engine where you would use hum the tune of the song into iTMS, and using the power of Google it would find the closest matching songs? That would make me say
Wow!
What about feature-integration of Google and Apple? Such as every time you save a file on your [Apple] computer, you could also check a box to have it automatically store a backup copy on your online Google Docs and Spreatsheets account for free?
And what if Google + Apple also had Facebook on their side? Instantly upload photos to your Facebook account from iPhoto? Use Google Images to search Facebook photos? Instant iMovie to Facebook video option? Finally, using computers would be a fun, social, and enjoyable thing to do.

Plus, it's been more of a joke between my Ipod using friends and I. Srry again for the misunderstanding.

Darn Westinghouse and Tesla for their
idea of alternating current! It's just so impossible to find direct current appliances to work with my Edison system.
