Consider people appointed to the board. Al Gore knows alot about government purchasing, having changed the system while Vice President. And there’s the guy from J. Crew, who knows alot about retail operations.

So one possibility is that Schmidt is there to try to sort out Apple’s online strategies in regards to iTunes, iPhoto, dot-Mac, etc.

A quick browse of the Web to see what speculation emerged after the news that Google CEO Eric Schmidt will join Apple’s board came up with a ditty from one John Dvorak: Is an Apple-Sun merger in the works? Dvorak…

It’s obviously too Mac-centric to have general impact, but I think it’s going to generate a lot of wishful thinking.

Heck, even I started doing it…

Intersting developments on the Apple and Google front, two companies whose products I am very fond of. Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google has joined the Apple board. As many people are saying, the products from this union will be…

It is Schmidt who has been elected to the board, not “the CEO of Google”. That’s an important difference.

In fact, as I understand the way, way, way complicated laws of Sarbanes-Oxley and the like, if Schmidt was to be seen to have an influence on a Google-Apple relationship, that would be a very naughty, SEC-coming-down-on-you-like-a-ton-of-bricks conflict of interest
