I wish they didn't have to partner with either one, but I understand the economics of it.

I think Google will prove a better long term partner.

Good question; maybe they are going with the lesser of two evils so to speak?

On the business end, probably a good idea; on the users end, probably a bad one.
Competition and diversity are usually beneficial to the user.
