After lauding Steve Jobs as the "Michelangelo of our time," combining visionary genius with extraordinary engineering smarts, Google CEO Eric Schmidt suggested in an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera that Google means to bring its own tablet to market in the next six months as good if not better than the iPad. "Noi nei prossimi sei mesi contiamo di mettere sul mercato un tablet di altissima qualità." Now if that's true, do you suppose such a thing will come from Google as the failed Nexus One did or from Motorola Mobility or from Android OEMs generally? He also said competition between the iPhone and Android will be "brutal" because that's capitalism.
