That's your job if you see it. I'm telling you. Take responsibility for your own abuse, don't deflect to others.
The Apple Newton
Destroyed on the other thread.
That's like saying Microsoft got plenty of OS experience when they hired David Cutler from DEC
Google BOUGHT an entire company that had been working on phone software for two years, and had extensive experience prior to that. The Microsoft equivalent would have been if Microsoft bought DEC, produced a VMS variant, and you were here claiming Microsoft had no experience with VMS.
Basic logic: By buying a company with extensive experience in a field, your company instantly gains that experience. Duh. That's the main reason tech companies buy other tech companies.
Plenty of programmers all over the world make contributions to Linux.
Linux operating system development experience. And don't even equate Google's massive contributions to Linux (most of which haven't been released) with "plenty of programmers all over the world."
Where is their consumer hardware prpoduct before the Nexus One at?
You stated consumer products.
I mean Android has managed to clobber Apple in smartphone market share in just 2 years.
What's this Android? Can I go into a store and buy an Android? Or do I buy any one of dozens of phones from Moto, HTC, LG, Samsung, and others?
Android is merely another “fragmentation” of a version of mobile Linux.
And it is the ONLY one with most of the powerhouses of the cell phone industry behind it. Quite different than each manufactuer fiddling with its own implementation.
That is 16 months headstart the iPhone had over Android, onl for Android to swftly ctacvh up to then overtake the IPhone
Your biased choice of words still shows. 16 months is a LOOOOONG time for the iPhone to build its sales. 2 years is a SHOOOORT time for android devices to build their sales.
When Applebots abuse(like they have been doing on FR for years), they are gonna get it right back.
“Destroyed on the other thread.”
Apple Newton, an Apple consumer electronics product that was launched when Google’s founders were still in high school, developed and sold by Apple for over 10 years, and in a way, a precursor to the iPhone, and still Google came to the market, with ZERO experience in any consumer electronics product, and clobber Apple in market share in just 2 years.
And, Android is still growing at 886%. You ain't seen nothing yet.
So what?
Microsoft hired David Cutler and his crew from DEC, to come wrirte NT for Microsoft. That doesn't in the least change the fact that NT is, and remains a Microsoft product.
Not to mention, there have been plenty of mobile Linux OS’s out there, yet none of them took off till Android came along. Android has been on the market for just 2 years, and they have already clobbered Apple's market share worldwide, and taken out both Apple and RIM in US market share. Like I said before, its virtually unheard of in the anals of operating system history, desktop or smatrtphone.
In close to 4 years of business, the iPhone is yet to even get close to RIM in market share, let alone overtake RIM. Android did it just 2 years.
You kinda like how Apple got the entire iPod idea (the precursor to the iPhone), from a guy named Tony Fadell, who was the real father of the iPod, by employing Tony Fadell?
And how said Tony Fadell then partnered with a company called PortalPlayer who had been working on their own MP3 player to design the software for the new Apple player?

If you are claimg that Google employed people with OS exoreince from other firms so therefore Anroid was not really developed by Google, what do you call Apple employing others to develop the OS for their iPod then?
