 HISTORY OF
ANDROID
 Android Inc. was founded in California in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich
Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. 
 Rubin described the Android project as "tremendous potential in developing
smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and
preferences". 

 The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating

system for digital cameras, and this was the basis of its pitch to investors in
April 2004. 
 The company then decided that the market for cameras was not large enough
for its goals, and by five months later it had diverted its efforts and was
pitching Android as a handset operating system that would rival Symbian and
Microsoft Windows Mobile.
