Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt defended Google by saying thecompany was a great innovator. This response is the answer to the accusation of stealing the idea of Apple's iPhone, which were raised by Steve Jobs.
In an interview for the biography of Steve Jobs before he died, Jobs saidAndroid is a stolen product. "I will destroy the Android, because it was stolen," said Steve as written Walter Isaacson, author of 'Steve Jobs'.
Since the allegations surfaced, Google even though the public was forced to respond. In one occasion, Schmidt says what it says Jobs as contained in the book are not true biography. She also admits she still feels sad and lostfor the death of Jobs.
"I decided to not comment on the statement released by Jobs in his biography after his death. I think it's not true," Schmidt said as hedescribes Jobs as an admirable figure who will be missed.
"Most people would agree that Google is also a great innovator. And I alsowant to clarify that Android has begun its efforts before the iPhone launch.That's all I want to say," Schmidt said as reported by CBS News and quoted on Wednesday (9 / 11 / 2011).
Jobs and Android does have a history of bad relationships. Schmidthimself had occupied the Apple board in 2006 to 2009, but then resigned and worked for Google. The exit of Schmidt then followed with the launch ofAndroid. No doubt, Google was dealing directly with Apple in thesmartphone business.
Jobs felt betrayed by the actions Schmidt. "I will launch a thermonuclearwar over this," said Steve as written in his biography. Jobs statement was associated with lawsuits many times asked Apple to handset makers that use Android, such as Samsung and HTC.
