I think you greatly overestimate what was needed to compete in
this mobile market at that time. I'm not saying it was easy,
but the PC and mobile giants before iOS/Android clearly didn't
have the vision or ability to execute what google, a much
smaller search company, did with Android, leaving aside Apple
because of your silly claims that their existing software gave
them a headstart, which is why those former computing giants
are all either dead or fading fast.
Google bought the company responsible for Hiptop, which was
already developing Android, where the majority of employees were
former BeOS employees, many of which are still on the Android
team.
