@Elitedcr Andy Rubin incorporated Android OS as a startup in 2003. Over a year before Apple decided to hire an engineer for that 30 month integration of iPod with a phone with a touch screen interface. That's over two years after HTC launched the first iPaq Touch Screen Smartphone. Perhaps you'll remember it was Andy who first coined the phrase Personal Preferences and Location Awareness in 2003, 2 months before Android OS was incorporated!

iPod DMD, iPad equals Steven Jobs ripping off Archos WiFi DMD (digital media player) first sold in 2002. Yes.... it surf the web via Wifi and play most any video or audio! Why wasn't it called it "Magical and Revolutionary" back then? Could it be that it was ahead of it's time and Apple has Billions to spend in hyping it's products and killing the competition!

Oh.... when was iPhone OS ported to the iPod/iPaq/Archos like device (iPhone)? Seems to me that Android OS was incorporated in 2003. Over a 1yr before they even hired engineers for their 30month development of iPhone. That's when they began their engineering effort for their device's Touch Screen. Which was late in 2004.

Andy had coined the phrase, "Location and Personal Preference Awareness and that of it's owner's needs and wants". Google bought Android in August 2005, almost 2yrs before iPhone was even sold to customers! ....I go run around and Google this all for you, but since you're a developer, I'd imagine you could at least figure out how to do that! ^_^

Oh..... and iPhone OS has been rooted. grin ....meaning jailbreakers can now dual boot Android OS 2.2 with FLASH....... haha.... So if you are a developer or such a techie, maybe you should switch to developing for Android, before all the iPhones are running it... more than iPhone OS!!!! xD iPhodroid iPhandroid even sold as Androidoniphone
