The Mountain View company Google might get involved into the iPhone evolution by partnering with Apple to make several solutions owned by the company compatible with the upcoming handheld device. Engadget reports that Glenn Lurie, AT&T employee, made a statement that reveals some of the company's plans: "There are other things -- you have
the widgets, some of the Google applications that are coming -- there are just so many things here that the price will not be an issue." As the same publication mentions, the phone producer's employee talked about multiple services to be implemented into the Apple's iPhone so there are probably some other solutions besides the famous Google Maps.

As you might know, the Mountain View company struggles to make its products accessible from any mobile device by releasing new flavors of its solution. Take the example of Google News, the company's product that receives headlines from more than 4500 sources and indexes them on the same page. Google News is also accessible from any mobile phone connected to the Internet, allowing handheld devices owners to read the latest news from any location.

At this time, a lot of the Google products are already compatible with the mobile phones. Recently, the search giant debuted a new version of Google Maps, especially created for UK residents, allowing them to view maps and satellite imagery from any Java-compatible device. However, you're now able to use Gmail, Google Maps, Google News and, since last week, Google Calendar from any handheld device connected to the Internet. All you need is a Google account compatible with all these products and a mobile phone.

However, this is an obvious sign that the Mountain View company is not yet interested in developing its own handheld device because it was rumored that a potential Googlephone is the best rival for Apple's iPhone.
