Google created Android
I thought they bought it. Was it some ex google engineer that made it or something?
As far as I know, they bought the system with the goal of running it on mobile digital cameras and other consumer electronics (like music players).
But when they saw the iPhone, the effort to convert this system into what we now see as Android was internal and made by Google.
But I could’ve been fed wrong information though.
