The market adapting accordingly to new and innovative tech is common. Apple invigorated an entire market. They can't own the entire market period. They could be the leader as is the case with iPad but that can't be mad that others make tablets in response. It makes no sense. Fashion works the same way.
You really don't understand the issue at hand here, do you?
It's not about competition. It's not about making knockoffs. It's not about the current state of Android. It's Schmidt knowing about Apple's private, inside plans and going behind their backs to create something that reaps off of their research without having to do any themselves.

Personally, I don't want Apple to own the market. Given Steve Jobs reaction to HP's demise, I don't think that was his goal either. Nor do I think that he was mad that others made tablets or touch-based smartphones:
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want," Jobs told Schmidt, according to the book.

Again sounds like you should never allow a competitor on you board in the first place. Looks like trying to gang up on RIM and MSFT simply backfired.
What's the difference between Apple innovating on the Xerox mouse and Google innovating on Apple's iPhone? More Patents filed now than then? Just sayin.....
I believe the difference you are looking for is that Apple asked. Google didn't
He blocked Google from accessing iPhone OS so Google went ahead and developed new mobile OS. This was Job's BIGEST mistake and he KNEW it! I am surprised no one else notices this. Android owns its existence to SJ!!!
Thank you for referring to Jobs illness as a "battle" this time rather than a "bout" (as in three previous AI stories). That word trivialized the situation.

All modern mobile operating systems owe their existence to him....point?

Looks like Apple asked for it on the second case too by putting a competitor on its board. They might as well have had Shin Jong- Kyun on there as well, or Jeff Bezos. It's all part of the corporate game.

Right. Because giving Microsoft unrestricted access to the Macintosh in 1983 kept them from copying it.

Assuming all these is true, don't you think Google could do it in an innovative, original and legitimate way, eh? eh? eh
And some people on this forum have the nerve to call me a troll for constantly bashing and attacking the pile of crap that is known as Android.
At least we know who Steve Jobs agrees with!
Steve Jobs also had some nice words for Obama I read, he's done with.
When one keeps repeating something after awhile it not only grows tiresome but it becomes obvious that the person is trying to convince themselves. Kinda like the girl that says "I hate you" 100 times but you end up screwing anyway. We get it you hate Android, can you kindly stfu about it once in a while?
The publication also recounted Jobs' first meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama. According to the book, Jobs told the president that he was "headed for a one-term presidency."
Well, we now finally know why Apple is saving up that enormous pile of cash - $80B+ and probably approaching $100B by June.
Google market cap today: $188B
For a hostile takeover you need what percentage of the total value of your target? About 50%, right, and you finance the rest?
Of course for antitrust reasons Apple would have to sell Android to a consortium of Samsung, etc. I bet they would get a really nice price for it! Along with certain "agreements" haha!

You COULDN'T be bothered to answer an honest question, humbly asked, but you have no problem coming back just to make the guy feel bad. Classy.
Some people are island hermits for good reason.
Humbly asked, my ass.
... and you sound like Mr. Popularity.

Lets see.
A. Steve Jobs is dead.
B. Google/Android is still running strong.
No matter what happens to Google, "A" will still apply.

No because aside from a few core similarities the platforms are not common.
See, when you spout nonsense like this you make it difficult to determine when you are being hyperbolic and when you are just being foolish.

Perhaps he should use an emoticon for you to understand properly?

Or "hormone imbalance."

Enlighten me to the similarities beyond touch based os with an app market.
