Jobs unhappy with Google over Nexus one

It seems that Mr Jobs of Cupertino is extremely unhappy with the smartphone direction that Google has taken, the Nexus One does come off (in my opinion) like a ripped off iPhone, there are a lot of aesthetic and operational ‘similarities’ and even if the Nexus One were a better product, it’s unoriginal and not typical of Google’s usually innovative position, here is the article I read (New York Times) – Apple co-founder Steve Jobs feels that Google “violated the alliance” it had with Apple when the search giant began producing cellphones that resemble the iPhone, according to a The New York Times piece that details the bitter rivalry between the two technology giants. In an extensive piece profiling the battle between Apple and Google, dubbed by one person as “World War III” due to the level of animosity involved, multiple sources told the Times that Jobs feels betrayed by Google. “We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business,” Jobs was quoted as saying at a company meeting. “Make no mistake; Google wants to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them.”
