There are more than one billion users of Android operating system over several platforms of mobiles
But when we go back to the 2003, when the official development of Android is started by Android INC (www.Android.com) operated under by a cloak of secrecy in association with Rubin & Co
Rubin has just announced " we are trying to create a completely new operating system for mobiles." Also, say, "If people's become smarter why not an O.S". It sounds crazy expectations at the peaks level
He refused to talk about the selling of company to the Tech giant Google. But rumors are already at peaks about contracting the Android to Google
In 2015 after two long years, Google finally bought Android and the Tech giant say "we acquired Android because of the talented engineers and fabulous technology. We're thrilled to have them here."
