Is Apple a Better Stock Than Google?

I own Google stock. I also own an iMac, iPod, download from iTunes, and think Apple has a fantastic future with products that integrate well with eachother. If Apple stock just would take a signifcant dip I'd be all over it. I might buy some even if it doesn't.

In my mind (hopefully in the real world too) Apple's future is pretty darn certain. Though it scares me that Jobs is so much associated with the company's success. Anyway, I think the greater certaintly of Apple is reflected in the higher valuation (by some measures) relative to Google.

I see Google as much more in uncharted waters. I went into the stock knowing that. In return, valuation is a bit better (again by some measures).

One thing for certain, a lot of companies are gunning for both Apple and Google just because they are so successful. Maybe a good question is, "Which can maintain their competitive edge longer", because that is probably the better stock to own.
