What came first: the Android or iOS? - Dobreprogramy

since yesterday we know that Steve Jobs, recently deceased co-founder of Apple, for Android, lightly speaking, did not like. But only now has been presented Google’s position on the accusations, which is bombarded her mobile system.

Android Jobs has always accused the edgings of IOS. The recently published biography, we know that the former CEO of Apple was willing to clean your reserve funds ($ 40 billion!) And unleash a thermonuclear war, just to destroy Android. Android was in the eyes of a copy of the IOS Jobs, brazen fake, and Google in this case could only ape Apple’s designers ideas. Google has long refrained from comment out of respect for the deceased.

However, the right moment has come to the retort. As might be expected to Eric Schmidt, Google’s board member, rejects accusations of copying. His main argument is that Android simply in the world was before. The project was started in 2003 by Andy Rubin, and in 2005 together with the company was bought by Rubin Google. The first iPhone was shown to the world only two years later. When you release the first version of IOS (the system was still known as the iPhone OS) work on the Android was already well advanced. 5 November 2007 Android was unveiled to the public at a meeting of the Open Handset Alliance.

But the iPhone OS is not created in a month. It was impossible to Steve Jobs came to a head developer just before New Year and had secondments of people to project that on January 9, 2007 on his desk will provide the best system for the cell, which has so far created. Also hard to believe that the iPhone OS could arise as a reaction to the purchase of Android by Google. Considering how long Apple has a habit to work on new products (as we know, for example, with numerous leaks from factories), it seems quite likely to start work on the iPhone even before 2003. But none of this will not work and it should not be at the heart of the matter.

Consider to that adopted by Schmidt line of defense has a chance to refute the accusation Jobs, and whether these accusations were well founded at all. For now, Schmidt was able to politely avoid the issue, but it’s just pretend that peace is not an elephant. That is a difficult task, but let us remember what he looked like the system used by Google before the launch of iPhone prototypes and compare with what was on HTC Dream (known in Poland as Era G1) – the first smartphone with Android, which hit the shelves . Steve Jobs may have been partly right, because the development of Android over the 2006 and 2007 looks a bit like the BlackBerry iOS transformation.

On the other hand, it is widely known that Apple has also inspired by Google’s product, as evidenced by even a notification system in iOS fifth Resolve the dispute and determine wielofrontowego who is guilty and who is a victim of its own volition no court is not taken.
