There’s been a lot of chatter lately regarding tension between Apple and Google, but one front where the Mac maker and the search giant appear to be simpatico is regarding Lala Media.

Lala, you will recall, is the music streaming business that Apple bought for $85 million back on December 6, in the process reportedly snatching it away from another suitor, Google. Tech enthusiasts held their breath waiting to see how that purchase would play out between the media giants, particularly since Google had partnered with Lala only a few months back for a music search deal.

According to BusinessWeek, that worry was for naught. Google director of product management R.J. Pittman explains that the companies have agreed to leave the current deal in place. “We have enjoyed a good relationship with Apple for many years, and that continues to be the case,” Pittman says. “We are agreeing to continue to leave the service as it is.”

Apple, always content with “the less said, the better,” had no comment other than spokesman Steve Dowling confirming the obvious: “We generally do not comment on our purpose or plans” regarding acquisitions.

Although Lala’s Google deal appears to be safe for now, elsewhere a storm continues to brew between Apple and Google on a number of fronts. In addition to the obvious smartphone battle between iPhone OS and Android, browsers (Safari vs. Chrome) and even desktop operating systems (Mac OS X vs. Chrome OS) are in both companies’ scopes. Google has been making great strides in the cloud-based world where Apple clearly intends to come stomping into.

Exactly how Lala fits into Apple’s plans is unclear, but most analysts see Cupertino leveraging its new purchase to make your iTunes library available anywhere there’s an Internet connection, instead of being tied to a hardware device like the iPhone or iPod touch.
