Inside Andy Rubin's Quest to Create an OS for Ever...
Can’t agree more. Also the “invention” of android is debatable to me. Wasn’t a rushed response to iOS?

AFAIK Android was already under development but arrival of iPhone caused it to be completely modified before release.

It was originally an OS for cameras. It's a pain to develop on. I believe they used an automated tool to convert a C-codebase to Java (judging from method name, usage of bit-fields instead of enums etc.)
