Hug of the titans?

Three days ago I wrote about the irony of Google Gears/Apps running on the Windows Mobile platform.

Well... yesterday, Apple thickened the plot pretty substantially.

To sum up:

Apple's iPhone now integrates with Microsoft Exchange to work in enterprises.

Microsoft is a sworn enemy of Google... who's Gears announcement and Google Docs compete with Microsoft Exchange... but also work on Microsoft Mobile

At the same time, Google also has lots of functionality on the iPhone.... which now also works with Microsoft.

Is it me... or is Apple playing both sides of the fence here?
