If there is no iPhone, Android might look something like this

The industry has been there a saying that Android copied the iPhone, this argument difficult to trace, Google has never acknowledged. Google acquired Android system in 2005 from Andy Rubin (Andy Rubin) hands. And in October 2008, as well as US carriers combined HTC T-Mobile launched the first Android phone HTC G1. This is the beginning of the history of Android as we know. 

In fact, this is not the first Google Android phone in the true sense, in 2012, a developer named Steven Troughton-Smith's demonstrated an early prototype Android phone's code-named Sooner, by HTC OEM called HTC EXCA 300. Android version running May 15, 2007 to build, that is four months after the iPhone announcement. (The first version of Android M3 in December 2007 announced that Android 1.0 announcement and after a year) 

This is a no touch screen full keyboard phone, the processor is OMAP850,64MB RAM, 320 × 240 LCD screen (non-touch), 1.3-megapixel camera, support for video recording. Full keyboard, four navigation keys (D-pad), four system buttons (Menu, Back, Home and Favorites), answer, hang up button. Is such a mobile phone, in fact, with the same period of time, full keyboard BlackBerry and Nokia mobile phone is no different, except that it is running Android. 

But Google's founders and leaders of the conference, after reading the iPhone to give up this early prototype Android, because they believe such a phone can not Apple just released the iPhone to compete, so early prototype Android completely down Since then turned round to rebuild touch, only we are familiar with a touch screen and full keyboard HTC G1. 

We can not prove it really plagiarism Android iPhone, but in the early development of the iPhone Android project indeed affect the Android development plan. Perhaps if there is no iPhone Android phones early form of the past BlackBerry and Nokia's full keyboard models is not much difference.
