The next battle ground for growth is China. Google can only grow there with music and map but even that is a uphill battle. They already got China pissed at them.
Apple, on the other hand, already has a proven track record with manufacturers in China. Apple has iTunes, which is second to none and now they have an innovative map company which will seem magically to interface with iPhone. I think Google should team up with Microsoft and go to some 3rd world country with their 3rd rate products and try to grow there.

edited to remove remark about Google's flaw algorithm because I wrote this before reading Robert Hahn's and Everq's logical rebuttal on the other thread.
