A tangled web

As I mentioned in my previous post, there are a lot of announcements to make sense of. In the world of mobile phones, for example, a bunch of partnerships were announced. If I'm reading correctly, the newly formed network of relationships (on the mobile front) looks something like this:
Opera and Samsung announced a partnership: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2006/12/21/
Samsung and Google announced a partnership: http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/samsungandgoogle.html
Google and Apple announced a partnership: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/01/09iphone.html
Apple and Yahoo announced a partnership: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/01/09iphone.html
Yahoo and Opera announced a partnership: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2007/01/08_2/
Try making sense of that!
And just when I thought everything was nice and neat in its own way, I read that Samsung is also partnering with Yahoo!: http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/press/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=224620
Opera, of course, has an ongoing relationship with Google (for the desktop browser), and runs well on Mac (which bodes well for a version of Opera on the iPhone?). In other words, Opera plays well with everyone.
