Des Smith , one of the phallus of the original Android squad , share some of his recollectionson Google+ . Things were unlike then :
I was worried that 50 “ 3 G ” phones might tear down the young T - Mobile 3 constant of gravitation web ! We switched half of them to WiFi tested them all out and compact up for the Nox .
I was so excited I could n’t sleep – we were about to change the world .
And here ’s how that domain - changing declaration went down :
The G1 itselfwasn’t a lifespan - changer from the get - go , but it showed promise . Enough that it seemed potential — if not a foregone finis — that Android could take off and make a serious impact in the world of mobile speech sound . With a capacitive touch screen , augmented with a physical keyboard and a trackball , the G1 was a showcase for all the fancy tricks the brand new Android 1.6 “ Donut ” 1.0 could draw off , like electronic mail , Google Maps , and mobile World Wide Web - browsing . Exciting stuff .
