Google CEO Schmidt Resigns from Apple's Board
'Bout time
With Schmidt resigning, this will allow Google to focus hard on it's emerging OSes (Android and Chrome), that way they aren't limited to please Apple (e.g. lack of multi-touch in current versions of Android) and releasing key services on iPhone before Android (update Maps, Google Search w/ Voice, etc.). I was also wondering why Google said they weren't going to initially include Multi-Touch in 2.0 (leaving it to the manufacturer to support it) to multi-touch being in the current 2.0 developer builds, but now it makes sense.

It does make sense. This is a good move(no a great move). As you stated, Google is positioning themselves to go the next level and with Apple constraints, Google could not move fcrword. Apple will slowly fragment their standing if they stay the current path of thinking. Conflict of interest can be ugly and hamper advancements. The rejection of goole's app was the icing on the cake for proceeding ahead. Let us see what happens now.

I'm curious about something... A manufactuer creates a device that they want to always run smoothly, and wants to ensure that their software is used (voice app). I don't understand why it's such a big deal to have a company say no to their competitor software... wouldn't that be like sony making software for nintendo? The cellphone war is awful similar to the videogame console war. I'm just saying, I really don't see why everyone is hating apple because they control what their device can use. They made it, they maintain it. Jailbreak your device if you want to F it up. Their device operates exactly how they want, and everything is damn well integrated. Just like nintendo, sony, and microsofts consoles.
