Meh. Looking at his Resume (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Rubin#Career_timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Rubin#Career_timeline), he started working on Mobile OS's as far back as 1992. Then he hopped from company to company (founding 2) until the Google Acquisition in 2005, and he didn't get into Robots until 2013. You don't spend 21 years working in a domain you don't like. And you don't quit managing Google's robotics division after LESS THAN A YEAR to immediately go back to mobile if robots are your lifelong dream. OK, sure, maybe he didn't like Google's robotics strategy or vision, but he was in a prime position to change it from the inside, and that takes longer than a year. It sounds much more that Robots is a hobby. But his life goal and passion is Mobile. Also, discounting his successes as just cloning the work of a genius is silly. Firstly, he has a credible role in the historical progression, as the Danger SideKick was a legitimate leader in the field for a few years. Secondly, Android to iPhone in the 2010's is Windows to Mac in the 1990's. They democratized the platform to give people the freedom of choice.
