I agree, which is why it would make more sense to leave the visionary stuff to folks like Jony Ive and have Eric Schmidt run the company. (Ive is hardly a CEO type) Schmidt's job at Google was to provide "adult supervision" to Larry and Sergey, and keep on top of the executive functions of a publicly listed company. There is no reason to assume he wouldn't do a good job at that with Apple, leaving folks like Jony to be visionaries.
