This video is not exactly new, but it’s a good way to kick off the site: Google CEO Sergey Brin announcing the Android operating system. It all started when in July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc., a small startup company based in Palo Alto, CA. At the time, little was known about the functions of Android Inc. other than they made software for mobile phones. This was a breeding ground for rumors that Google was planning to enter the mobile phone market.
It was unclear at the time what role Google might wish to pursue in that market. At Google, the Android team developed a Linux-based mobile device OS which they were marketing to handset makers and carriers on the premise of providing a flexible, upgradeable system. After months of speculation, Sergey Brin finally explained Google’s plans in this video.
