Apple v. Google: One year on...


As we wait for Apple's next moves, among the furor over Android overtaking Apple in terms of smartphone OS marketshare in the US, it seemed a good moment to reflect that Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, only finally resigned his seat on Apple's board of directors this week one year ago.
We saw it coming at the time. First of all Apple rejected Google Voice from the App Store.
Then came the bombshell, a short statement dated August 3 2009, in which Schmidt finally quit his seat on Apple's board. And finally admitted just how big a competitor to Apple Google had become. LINK
