Google is busy waging wars on two fronts.
The Mountain View search giant has its sights set on Apple's iPhone in the cell phone market. On the application and operating system front, Microsoft is its main target.
Google's Android cell phone operating system is a direct competitor to Apple's iPhone, and soon Google will be powering tablet PCs that compete with Apple's new iPad. While there are differences between Android and the iPhone operating system, both have a similar look and feel. One major difference today is that Google's OS can run more than one program at a time while the iPhone can only run one program (except for certain Apple applications). This will change, however, as Apple releases its iPhone OS 4.0 update in the summer.
But Apple isn't alone in facing competition from the search giant. Google on Tuesday introduced updates to its Google Docs suite of Web-based programs that make them more compatible and more competitive with Microsoft Office.
