I couldn't find a link but it was later shown this prototype pre-dated the iPhone-like video. If I recall correctly this prototype was actually from the pre-Google acquisition days.
I just thought the point would be obvious since it makes no sense for Android to be more iPhone like, then go to this, then go back to being iPhone like.
- jeffool 15y agoAhhhh, appreciated. I made an assumption as to why, but yeah, that makes more sense. That sentence just threw me off. But your core point is probably right; they probably did see the iphone and say "well shit. Call up the team." I don't think it should be illegal, but you're likely correct on what actually happened. And yeah, it's funny people are so averse to saying that. (And I recently realized I'm a big Google fan. ... Is there a name for us? I need to get to know my people!)
- talmand 15y agoIt would make sense if they wanted a prototype to possibly compete with Blackberry.
