"In my clear opinion, Larry is ready to lead and I'm excited about working with both him and Sergey for a long time to come," Schmidt said.

Had to quote that. lol

I'm sure quite a few other ppl thought the same thing. Just like ppl thought that about the iPhone. I remember seeing a quote recently that Steve Ballmer, Mr. Nutcase himself, said basically the same thing about the iPhone.

Its kinda eerie the similarities with Android and the iPhone. Both grabbed a ton of market share from established phones in a very short amount of time.
