Apple working on a search engine?

According to some rumors, Apple would be working on the implementation of their own search engine. It’s to wonder why Apple would want to throw itself on a market where Google is the absolute leader, after managing to overthrow the opponents, but in reality, the company’s plans wouldn’t be to offer Google any competition (also because of the two companies’ partnership in many areas). It would seem, instead, that Apple’s intention is to integrate the new search technology into their own products: the mobile devices, the website, MobileMe and Spotlight.

There are no further details available on the matter, and there are many contradictorial opinions about how legitimate those rumors are. We will see how the whole situation develops, even though the many rumors that keep on spreading around the web makes us think that there could be something true about it, after all.
