Steve Wozniak wants that Apple and Google to become partners

In a program broadcast on BBC News, Steve Wozniak said that he wished that Google and Apple are partners. As we know, in 1970 Steve Jobs met Steve Wozniak, then along with Ronald Wayne created this successful company called Apple.
During the program, Wozniak said voice recognition software system on Android is more accurate compared to Siri. It often happens that when visiting their favorite restaurant, it is not recognized by Siri, but Android. Steve says that this is because the Android operating system fully benefit from the Google search engine and a possible partnership between Apple and Google as its desire most.
Steve believes that this possible Apple-Google partnership would lead to an enormous development of technology in portable terminals such as smart watches or spectacles like Google Glass. Wozniak today is no longer a man behind Apple, after retiring, so it does not affect the statements made in any future plans of Apple.
