The first model of the iPhone motivated Google to implement touchscreen support in Android and a look at Android before the iPhone

  As you already know very well, over the years various rumors appeared on the Internet indicating that Google decided to implement support for touch screens in Android only after Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), launched the first model of iPhone. If until now we have only talked about rumors, here is a series of official documents presented in the process between Samsung si Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), confirm all this information. Before the presentation of the first model of iPhone, Google intention to launch Android without support for touch screens, but Apple's new product convinced them to completely change their strategy.

  Android was developed to be used only with physical keyboards, with Google intending to implement support for touchscreens at some point, with the introduction of the iPhone hastening this moment. More precisely, Google completely changed its strategy after the presentation of the iPhone 2G, asking its partners to implement Android with mandatory support for touch screens, but also with support for multiple simultaneous touches. Basically, Google took over Apple's idea immediately after the presentation and based on it managed to make its operating system so popular, this being supported by Apple's lawyers.

  Below you have the documentation initially thought by Google for Android OS, and in the following days we can expect to see other confidential information about Apple, Google and Samsung.
