Meet the AppleGoogs and the NokYahoos

And so the pairing has begun, with Apple and Google firmly tying the knot with the charismatic unveiling of the delectable iPhone by The Reverend Steve Jobs. The reception was fantastic (brought to you by Cingular) and the highlight was finding a Starbucks via Google Maps and giving them a call during the ceremony itself. Ah young love! These occasions always make me so teary-eyed…

And then, after a debauched weekend of sin in Vegas, Nokia and Yahoo take a drive through the drive-through Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel where, through the power vested in Elvis by the N95, they say their solemn vows. The entire affair was captured for posterity and aired as a TV ad on Heroes on SABC 3 on Wednesday night. Oh…I give them a couple of months, she’s SUCH a slag.

Watch this space for more co-branded matrimony - just keep your divorce lawyers on danger money, baby.
