Yes the video is old, but he was notorious for taking other companies ideas and basically remodeling it to make it look like something new and appeal to different people. Takes a smart man to do something like that. But saying that Apple is the reason for Android is jut untrue. In fact, while apple has the more known name and reputation, as well as a much better app market, Android's operating system is much more user friendly and simple. Why do you think iOS5 took so many ideas from the newer Android OS?

Again, this is not a "I hate apple or Steve Jobs" post. Just clarifying that although Steve Jobs did so much for technology, Apple is not the super-power churning out new ideas that everyone thinks they are. They've got the name, the money, and the fan base to take ideas and run with it.
Nah what i meant was apple and steve jobs were rivals to android, with that rivalry in mind they had to keep production and advancements going to keep up with the changing tides. Positive reinforcement you might say.
