Google and Apple iTV alliance in the works

google and appleGoogle's VP of Search Marissa Mayer recently told Newsweek that Apple and Google are "engaged in talks." The discussions are based around Apple's recent announcement of iTV, their new device that hooks up a users PC to their home TV. Google is talking about supplying Apple with videos for use through iTV.

The iTV device is essentially a media extender, allowing users to switch between a TV and computer screen. It is more or less a DVD player that happens to play internet videos. Teaming these two tech giants together for this project seems like a dominating stance in the "media extender" sector. It is a powerful tool that two companies could possibly be side by side making it the ultimate must have for total media enjoyment.
