Here's some more interesting information from the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK [2]. Users will be able to set search to something besides Google [3] in the search bar of the iPad's Safari in upcoming iPhoneOS releases.

Right now, the two options besides the current default Google are Wikipedia [4] and Yahoo, but plugins could be developed to do things like Amazon and Bing searches directly from the search bar in the Safari browser [5].

There is even a suggestion manager for both Google and Yahoo depending on which search engine you choose. Unfortunately, no Bing… yet.
