 Android Inc. was founded in
Palo Alto, California in
October, 2003 by Andy
Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick
Sears, and Chris White.
 Their goal was to develop a
"smarter mobile device that
was more aware of its
owner's location and
preferences.”
 They operated secretively,
admitting only that they
were working on software
for mobile phones.

 Android has support for
multi-touch which was
originally made available
in handsets such as the
HTC Hero.
 The feature was originally
disabled at the kernel
level (possibly to avoid
infringing Apple's patents
on touch-screen
technology at the time).
 Google has since released
an update for the Nexus
One and the Motorola
Droid which enables
multi-touch.
