Google vs Apple should be fairly interesting, especially now that Google owns Motorola Mobility. I think people underestimate Google if they think Apple will win this with ease, especially now that Steve Jobs has resigned.
From a technical point of view, Google tends to be superior to Apple, but Apple is way better at marketing. Or.. was? Steve Jobs was the main man behind it all, I'm not sure their marketing will remain as strong in the coming years.
The most interesting factor here is actually Microsoft though, which is something of a sleeping bear right now. Poke it with a stick enough times and might just awaken. For some reason, Apple has a bigger market value than Microsoft, but Microsoft still has significantly more assets and bigger profit than Google or Apple. Windows 8 is looking very interesting at this point, especially related to mobile devices such as phones and tablets.
Ah well, it'll be interesting, that much is certain. I look forward to seeing how it all turns out.
