[citation][nom]Uberragen21[/nom]I really dislike CrApple fanboys who don't know what they're talking about. IF you did your homework, you would know that Android OS was around before CrApple's iOS. "Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States in October, 2003 by Andy Rubin" "Google acquired Android Inc. in August 2005, making Android Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Google Inc." That was long before CrApple iOS was around, which was only released on June 29, 2007. Yes CrApple released their iOS on a device "first", but Android OS was around before iOS was a whimper of a thought in Jobs' brain. The first iPhone used a stripped down version of Mac OS X, not a truly independent mobile platform like Android. All this information is readily available on the internet, try using your brain to find the facts before you spout off some nonsense.[/citation]
Android was released on 20 September 2008
iOS was released on June 29, 2007
You have no clue when Apple started development of iOS, but based on the fact that it was released well over a year earlier, it could well have started development well before Android was even founded.
Labelling iOS as a 'stripped down version of Mac OS X' is completely irrelevant - it was still a mobile OS - which is the essence of what both are. Being 'independent' means nothing if it works on mobile devices.
You say 'before iOS was a whimper of a thought in Jobs' brain' - but that's pure, unsubstantiated opinion. In fact the evidence suggests the opposite.
