Android existed before Google acquired it. So there’s an interesting wrinkle there.
But, PalmOS existed before Android and iOS. And Blackberry. Sailfish may have also, I just don’t recall.

Android started out as a framework for blackberry. So probably we’d all be using blackberries.

And taking that a step further, I believe it was Blackberry that was proliferating the free text messages thing at the time (so long as it was to another Blackberry) so that could even have led to not enough market room for third-parties like WhatsApp and Kik to dominate the way they did.
