iPhone to get Google hosted apps?

Google CEO Eric Schmidt is a fan of Apple. After all, he sits on the board of directors for the company and pitches the iPhone when he has a chance. When the iPhone frenetic quasi-universe begins this Friday, Google Maps will sit on the ROM ready for use out of the box. On top of possible ROM inclusions of more Google goodness outside of maps, Schmidt said last week that the iPhone was a great opportunity for more Google hosted app madness. That small comment started our minds racing: are Google-hosted applications products like Docs, Notebook, Gmail and Calendar on tap for the iPhone soon? With Ajax on the iPhone's spec sheet, we suspect both companies have some rabbits still in the hat right now.
