    I literally helped create Android to prevent Microsoft from controlling the phone the way they did the PC - stifling innovation. So it's always funny for me to hear Gates whine about losing mobile to Android 🤣 Retweet if you think I should share our original pitch deck 1/2

    I helped Orange launch the first Windows Mobile phone in 2002, the SPV. I worried MSFT might end up controlling mobile like they did the PC, I wanted something more open. So, sorry Bill, you're more responsible for loosing the $400B than you realize

    The 1st Android phone, the T Mobile G1, launched 15 yrs ago in NYC! We never imagined that Android would dominate the world wide mobile phone market & become the most popular OS of all time. I unboxed an old G1 for the occasion. Happy birthday #android! I know the last photo

    It is also a good opportunity to legitimize your knowledge in spaces that people would consider out of your traditional domain. The other day I was on a angel investor pitch panel with @marcrandolph @richminer @justinkan @HarringtonKevin @NaithanJones @janamal @mhiggins

    Meta might be trying to emulate Android w/their approach to the Metaverse but this article got so much wrong about Android, our motivation, execution & market dynamics that we should correct that before you try to draw parallels. businessinsider.com/facebook-meta-… via @BusinessInsider
