So, why did Google make Android? In this week’s Processor episode, Dieter Bohn looks at the launch of Android ten years ago. The HTC G1, codename Dream, was the first commercially available phone that ran Android and it was released more than a year after the iPhone. But, here’s the thing, Android wasn’t meant to compete with Apple. Instead, Google was actually trying to compete with Microsoft.

What was your first Android phone?
I want that jog dial on a modern phone
Going back to your roots eh. I remember getting a treo 700 I think it was and reading your stuff on the palm site you were at. Than moving to the iPhone and reading imore or whatever it was before it changed names a few times.I dig your stuff Dieter.
It’s Dianne Hackborn not Dianne Hackthorne.
I still have my moto q for verizon man .. That phone was ahead of its time
Google didnt make Android.
And now Android is ripping off iOS year after year, copying every feature/update that it has.
Um, Google didn’t make Android. They ACQUIRED it.

I SO wanted that Motorola Moto Q phone! I ended up with the Palm Treo Pro, then a BlackBerry curve and then Androids from then on. I really miss that BlackBerry Curve. It was simple, useful, and intuitive!
Lol google didn’t make android. Please go away.
Fun to watch!
What music at 1:32? Super interesting, I had a black jack and then went to G1 and the next one too, later Sony Xperia, still holding out for a new Sony that works on Volte Tmobile.
Before android there was Nokia Symbian. Wasn’t highly massive but still popular, I remember Nokia maps were cool by then.
Before than that I just used Ericsson phones.
The Palm Treo was on of the best phones I’ve ever owned
I miss the old days. Before android and iOS I had my blackberry curve 8330. I loved it.
Google is a monopoly. THEY KILLED EVERYTHING else, and now there is only iOS and Android. There needs to be more competition.
Blackberry needs to make a comeback with Windows Mobile.
Google didn’t make android you dunce
Android is spyware.
SO THEY WENT FAST SPEED AHEAD TO COMPETE WITH MICROSOFT.… THEN WENT FAST SPEED AHEAD TO RIPOFF EVERYTHING FROM THE IPHONE.… FAST SPEED IS GREAT APPARENTLY.
I love this guy
Google didn’t make Android. Google bought Android.
Cool, thanks. Before the iPhone, I really wanted the Danger phone that flips.
This explains why Google is now taking away the buttons since they’re going directly after Apple as opposed to keeping the old Windows-killing features.
6:38 What wallpaper is that and how can I get it? 😍
Thank tesla not these copy cats that killed the source. Nothing’s new under the son but the 😈. Thank those that hide in the brimstone BUSHES. WHAT A LEADING path TO AWAKE the JUDEA
To the people who invented Android y’all failures
So now I see where apple got their animations from..android did it first
The adier was to feind same soil to the téléphone to toutche the phone
Liked and subscribed.
Research for this after saw ‘Revolution OS’.
Google keeps spying and robbing private data on all humans on planet earth.
Oh My Gosh Nearly 3Milion Subs! I subbed to help you!
Somebody else made Android. They are bunch of thieves.
First ‘smart phone’ I had was an O2 XDA, and all the people at work laughed at me for having such a huge phone.
My first was a android tablet its name is ONDA if i remeber corectly it was a very long time ago i had 2 more but one of them was a black while both otheres were ONDA except the black one idk the name i didn’t like the black one cuz it didn’t had that much memory and no back camera and now i have a phone aswell UMIDIGI A5 PRO
Which I got on march 2020 its an year old
2:00
I love anything with Dieter in it. Such a likeable guy and very informative. Keep up the good work!
Google bought android, not made
thank you for the informations
This is not the Droid we all are looking for!
So the G1 was released the day after my brother Malachi’s birthday! In 2008, he was 2 years old!
Seems like Google tried to be everything that iPhone wasn’t. For better and for worse

Very informative , whole lotta thanks for the post tbh
They new Steve jobs was a psycho.
A friend told me that he onl buys iphones because Android is just another copy of IOS. I had to watch this video to double check that Google didn’t just steal ideas from IOS and made Android.

Bad research. Google purchased Android after Samsung declined to purchase it.
