Android â From the Beginning to World Domination

,----[ Quote ]
| Androidâs co-founders Andy Rubin, Nick 
| Sears, and Chris White went to work for 
| Google. Rubin is also the co-founder of 
| Danger, Sears is a former Vice President of 
| Product Marketing at T-Mobile USA, and 
| White headed design and interface 
| development at WebTV. Android Inc was an 
| unknown company that made software for 
| mobile phones. Then rumors were circulating 
| that Google was planning to enter the 
| mobile phone market. At Google, a team lead 
| by Rubin developed a mobile platform 
| powered by the Linux kernel which they 
| marketed to headset makers and wireless 
| carriers on the premise of providing a 
| customizable and upgradeable system.

Dell Aero claimed to be world's lightest Android phone

| With the addition of the three new phones, 
| AT&T is the only U.S. carrier to offer 
| devices representing all major OSes, says 
| the company. Two weeks ago, AT&T added 
| Motorola's Backflip to its lineup in a so-
| far exclusive arrangement, thereby making 
| the carrier's Android debut. In October, 
| the company began selling the GarminAsus 
| Nuvifone G60, which runs a custom Linux OS.

| companyâs partners are now selling over 60,000
| Android handsets on a daily basis. With that
