Steve Jobs vowed to 'destroy' Android

Steve Jobs said he wanted to destroy Android and would spend all of Apple's money and his dying breath if that is what it took to do so.

The full extent of his animosity towards Google's mobile operating system is revealed in a forthcoming authorised biography.

Mr Jobs told author Walter Isaacson that he viewed Android's similarity to iOS as "grand theft".

Apple is suing several smartphone makers which use the Android software.

According to extracts of Mr Isaacson's book, obtained by the Associated Press, Mr Jobs said: "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

He is also quoted as saying: "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong."

Sour times

Apple enjoyed a close relationship with Google prior to the launch of the Android system. Google products, including maps and search formed a key part of the iPhone's ecosystem.


Apple co-founder
At that time, Google's chief executive, now chairman, Eric Schmidt also sat on the board of Apple.

However, relations began to sour when Google unveiled Android in November 2007, 10 months after the iPhone first appeared.

In subsequent years Apple rejected a number of Google programs from its App store, forcing the company to create less-integrated web app versions.

Android has subsequently enjoyed rapid adoption and now accounts for around 48% of global smartphone shipments, compared to 19% for Apple.

But its growth has not gone uncontested. Apple has waged an aggressive proxy-war against Android, suing a number of the hardware manufacturers which have adopted it for their tablets and smartphones.

Motorola was one of the first to be targeted, although it is Samsung that has borne the brunt of Mr Jobs' ire.

The South Korean firm is currently banned from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and Germany because of a combination of patent infringements and "look and feel" similarities. A smartphone ban is also pending in the Netherlands.

Samsung is counter-suing Apple for infringing, it claims, several wireless technology patents which it holds the rights to.

Defence mechanism

Patents blogger Florian Mueller, who has been following the court cases closely, said Apple would be conscious of its past, where other companies exploited some of its early ideas.

"If Apple doesn't want the iPhone and iPad to be marginalized the way it happened to the Macintosh at the hands of the Wintel duopoly, it has to use the full force of its intellectual property to fend off the commoditization threat that Android represents," he told BBC News.

Mr Mueller - who has previously undertaken consulting work commissioned by Microsoft - was also critical of Eric Schmidt's dual role at the time: "The fact that Eric Schmidt stayed on Apple's board while he was preparing an iOS clone was an inexcusable betrayal of Steve Jobs' trust."

Mr Schmidt resigned from the Apple board in August 2009. He was later quoted by Bloomberg as saying: "I was on the board until I couldn't stay on the board anymore."

Well, Steve Jobs failed to crush Android.

We finally broke down and bought an iPhone. My kid needed a new cell phone, and the new iPhone was the cheapest. It's neat - I have a few iPods - but at the end of the day it's a smart phone. When the iPhone first came out, it was groundbreaking and nothing could compare for a few years. That was then. Now all smart phones are pretty much the same.

Steve Jobs is not seeming to be a very nice fellow now that he is dead. Doesn't that mean he lost? Everybody else is alive and he is idead.

Really? Cheapest? I was going to switch to the iPhone because I could get on my parents family plan (and essentially not have to pay for phone service) but even with 3 other lines it was still considerably more expensive than my t-mobile plan with an android phone, not including the cost of the phone itself.

The phone itself is expensive enough and you really only have one choice, but the service plan was unbelievable and didn't offer unlimited at the time (not sure if it does now).

I would say that until the cost of service goes down and they're able to provide the number of options android does, they'll never "destroy" android.

Just watch this documentary. It's long, but a great chronicle of the early days when he was a slave driving egomaniac.

Try playing the hottest online games without flash.

Good luck on that one.

Stop thinking about porn all the time.
There is way more to life than watching a porn movie.

Wozniak said recently that he believes Android will ultimately win. Interesting comment he made about Jobs as well. He said Jobs could sell a dream, could sell imagination. When Wozniak was watching Jobs replacement going over the tech specs at a recent show, he realized Apple was going to slow down or falter. Apple users supposedly are interested in tech specs, they are interested in what an Apple product can allow one to do... What he says seems to be true.

Google 1, Jobs 0.

Jobs of all people knew that you didn't have to be the first to market, you just have to bring the best to market.

Above corrected.

As a sidebar, wife told me he tried alternative medicine for way too long. Didn't want to be cut open...Guess he also had a focus thing going on. Wanted to be focused on Apple and not Cancer and it killed him. Sad, he was a visionary for sure.

I would love to read a tell all book from his co-workers...
