That may be, but don't use a myth to posit your position. The Android that Google acquired is a grain of sand of what it is today. Anything remotely notable or worthwhile out of Android came out of Google.
FWIW, Siri is great and I currently use an iPhone.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoExcept perhaps the most important thing - the idea? Possibly worth looking too at what I was originally doing - refuting the idea that Android was a major Google innovation where Siri was merely an acquisition. Even if you say that Google have reworked Android to the extent that it's essentially new, the same is largely true of Siri if you look what it was when Apple bought it (small scale, movie tickets and restaurant bookings). The only difference is one is three years on, the other is ten years on.
- runjake 14y agoWhat idea? Android? Android was essentially an unknown brand when Google bought it. It certainly wasn't a technology (or at least a technology that has any similarity to Android today).
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoIt was a mobile operating system. That seems pretty similar to me.
