| The first Android smartphone called the HTC G1 |
Google began working on Android in 2005 and is run by a very secret project. Google's new OS created in Building 44 by dozens of programmers. After spending 60-80 hours a week for about two years, Android chief Andy Rubin gained great surprise, the announcement of the first iPhone by Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007.
Basically I already know Apple will release a phone, but they do not expect the iPhone into a device that is very good. Previously I feel more threatened by Microsoft that will enter the mobile business, because the company has long led the computer software market.
In addition, Google also worried Microsoft will release a phone with Bing search engine instead of Google search, so that could hurt Google's business. Google's revenue depends on the time of the search ads that appear alongside search results. I think Microsoft could have killed his search engine, such as happens in Netscape with Internet Explorer in the 1990s.
In fact Apple makes Google surprised. IPhone has a much more appealing design than Google's Android phones are doing at that time. Touchscreen iPhone uses a large screen measuring 3.5 - inches and no physical keyboard.
While Google's Android phone codenamed “sooner”, has a physical keyboard and a small screen without touchscreen capability. So I decided to make reforms in order to produce a better phone than the iPhone.
Rubin and the entire team working on Android phones, then codenamed is “Dream”, which will have the entire software plus features a clean design. The device still has a physical keyboard slides out, but a way to comfort and also have the ability touchscreen like the iPhone.
The first Android smartphone called the HTC G1 and released nearly two years after the iPhone was launched.
