- hackinthebochs 12y agoGoogle is just shameless when it comes to android. It's entire history has been one of "me too".
- VikingCoder 12y agoEverything after Douglas Engelbart's Mother of All Demos has been shameless "me too". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zz1SwCTCEE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zz1SwCTCEE
- hackinthebochs 12y agoNot really. My point is that Google has never had any design vision with android and simply responds to the movements of the other big names in the phone business with their "me too" offering. It's hard to deny this fact. It's also interesting how the same exact sentiment elsewhere in this thread gets upvoted.
- hueving 12y agoYou probably got down-voted because you didn't offer any examples. You could swap Apple for Google in your sentence and it would carry just as much weight.
- mattmanser 12y agoNo it wouldn't, what a ridiculous thing to say. The iPhone came out of nowhere and was a revelation, Android was a hastily (very well) assembled clone. Were you not around when they came out?
- hueving 12y agoYes, I was there when apple stole the idea of a touch screen phone from Nokia and Palm, what's your point?
- actsasbuffoon 12y agoI don't want to get involved in this flame war, but Apple began development of the Newton (a mobile device with a touch screen) in 1987. Palm wasn't even founded until 1992.
- barbs 12y agoYou still haven't offered any examples.
- hackinthebochs 12y agoI was replying TO THE EXAMPLE. What is wrong with some of you people?
