"We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business," Jobs told Apple employees shortly after the public introduction of the iPad, according to a Google insider. "Make no mistake: Google wants to kill the iPhone. We won't let them."
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's co-founders, have openly expressed admiration for Jobs. In a statement, Schmidt concurred. "I continue to believe, as many do, that Steve Jobs is the best CEO in the world today, and I admire Apple and Steve enormously," he wrote. But business is different.
The ads run by service provider Verizon for the Droid put the rivalry in perspective:
"Everything iDon't ... Droid Does."
