Bing Can Replace Google as Default Search Engine in iPhone OS 4
According to TechCrunch, iPhone OS 4 will feature Microsoft Bing as the default search engine in Mobile Safari. Thing to notice here is that, Bing will be the default search engine, so if user wants to use Google then he/she can change it manually.
However, most of the users use the default search engine for their searches. So it would be a big loss to Google, considering the number of iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads in the market, and the fact that Google pays $100 million/year to Apple.
By the way, how many of you are using Mobile Safari, since the launch of Opera Mini 5? And Opera Mini uses Google as its default search engine. So, will Apple force Opera to use Bing as its default search engine?
One important thing here is that this deal has not been finalized yet. However, it is rumored that Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft, will attend WWDC to announce Bing for iPhone OS.
If this deal is finalized, then would you use Bing or change your search engine to Google?
