@BenBajarin Google bought Android well before the iPhone. It was always about Windows Mobile and preventing MSFT from blocking them

@monkbent Yes but Android at that time was not a phone focused platform. -
@BenBajarin ??? Yes it was -
@monkbent well sort of. I met with Andy on this early on and it was smart mobile focused but not obvious smartphone in key ways. -
@BenBajarin fair enough :)

@BenBajarin Android was founded in 2003 and it was always about phones. Bought by Google in 2005. Schmidt joined Apple’s board in 2006 -
