He has been brought on in a marketing role, not a development role, reporting to Schiller. So this is a marketing position that oughtn’t affect the technical development of the device.

Ummm, that is, the device Apple has not confirmed exists. ;-)

Because I’m wondering why they’d hire this guy now if the tablet is already built and almost ready to go.
