11 years ago, Apple had already changed everything with the first version of the iPhone (without the App Store and with 2G) and was preparing to bring the paradigms that still govern the market of the smartphones (Now yes, with the App Store moderated and controlled from Cupertino), but a cheaper option, free and related to the developer community, was just entering the market: Android operating system.
Although technically the development of Android comes from shortly before the first iPhone hit stores, the truth is that this September 23 the official launch of Android is celebrated, along with - we read in Engadget - the announcement of the HTC Dream.
The mobile is also known as the G1 and unofficially he is ranked as the first flagship (even as a proto-Nexus) by Google as the demonstration to other manufacturers of their vision of what smartphones should be like.
In physical design, when fixtures were more than rectangular glasses, we see the paradigms of the push button home Y Back, in addition to those to hang up and receive calls. Since then the source has been observed Droid sans.
Another aspect of the interface is this hybrid between a BlackBerry (for those of the physical keyboard) and a grid of applications in the style of what was the standard in Symbian (Nokia's operating system ubiquitous until 2017) and without as much allegory to desktop computing, as was the case with Windows Mobile or whatever Palm was doing before proposing with the Pre.
They were rare years at Google and after the release of the iPhone and iOS, things in Android took a radical turn that until 2011 was reflected with the development of Android 4, a mobile OS that finally made Apple tremble, and whose foundations are maintained although we have already reached the ninth version.
As a curious fact, this BlackBerry type scheme had its greatest exponent in the first Motorola Droids, with relative success in the United States as it was the business response of the carriers that they had to sell replacements for Windows Mobile or Palm's Treo.
THE DATA: On September 23 Android is officially launched on the market.
