Google CEO Misses from Some Apple Board Meetings Due to iPhone/Android Conflict
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Potential conflict between Apples iPhone plans and Googles own plans for its Android cell phone platform has caused Google CEO Eric Schmidt to excuse himself from "one or two" Apple board meetings. Mr. Schmidt revealed this at an event in San Francisco sponsored by Syracuse Universitys Newhouse School of Public Communications.
When asked if he would have to resign from the board because of the competition, Marketwatch reported that he said, "not so far." He also stressed that it hasnt been a common event, saying, "Ive only done this once or twice, so its not as common as it sounds."
Perhaps more interestingly, Mr. Schmidt revealed that the "vast majority" of Google searches conducted from a mobile phone are coming from iPhones. Thats not bad for a smartphone thats sold some six million units, a relatively small market share in a market that has been around for several years, and it could well speak to Apples claim that the iPhone is the best way to access the Internet on a phone.
Be that as it may, Mr. Schmidt said that Googles Android platform is likely to result in phones that are "quite different" from Apples iPhone, though he would not offer any additional information. With Android being an open platform designed around advertising-supported services -- Googles specialty -- differences between Apples mostly closed system are to be expected.
