It’s time to take sides. Are you with Apple… or are you against them?  Sorry, sitting on the fence is no longer acceptable. Not sure?  Okay, try this one for size. Are you with Google… or are you against them?  Still undecided?

Right – here’s your third choice. Are you with the Rebel Alliance?  Yes, the Rebel Alliance. Everyone who isn’t Apple or Google.

Perhaps it’s just me, but when Microsoft’s UK MD points out the mobile phone rivalry between Google and Apple, it looks like he’s taking sides. The third side.

When Yahoo! and Nokia are rumoured to be working together, they also seem to be taking sides… especially when you consider Nokia’s relationships with Intel and Microsoft, to name just two.

Things could be shaping up for an almighty battle!
