Google’s Eric Schmidt Resigns from Apple Board

Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, resigned from the Apple Board today. Steve Jobs had this to say:

“Unfortunately, as Google enters more of Apple’s core businesses, with Android and now Chrome OS, Eric’s effectiveness as an Apple board member will be significantly diminished, since he will have to recuse himself from even larger portions of our meetings due to potential conflicts of interest.”

Some other issues such as the whole Google Voice iPhone App problem might have had something to do with Eric Schmidt resigning as well. For now let’s just hope this was a good move on Schmidt’s part.
