很难相信,今天是Android 的第四个生日 。 在2008年的今天Android开发者博客宣布了Android 1.0 SDK。
当时让人兴奋的还有即将发布的T-Mobile G1 智能手机。 那时候的苹果iPhone 3G只是刚推出2个月,来自其竞争来LG 的Dare 和三星的Instinct 也是刚从 feature phone 转换过来 。 T-Mobile G1 在Android 1.0 SDK发布一个月后推出 。 Android创始人Andy Rubin后来说Android 1.0更像是0.8,它已被推出应付圣诞节。
第一款Android手机T-Mobile G1
T-Mobile G1的推出并不完美。 它没有的虚拟QWERTY键盘或视频播放器和相机无法拍视频。Android 1.5 推迟了发布 ,但最后增强了手机的功能。 正如我们经常喜欢说的一句话,Android的真正奇迹是从 2.0 开始。 2.0 的开源系统最初使用在摩托罗拉DROID, DROID是第一款可以与苹果iPhone竞争的智能手机。
Android版本现在已经到了 4.1.1 果冻豆,根据IDC的数据, Android手机在今年第二季度占全球智能手机市场的68%, 其中一款三星Galaxy S III 在100天的销量超过2千万台 。 四年前的今天,这将是在未来。 讽刺的是,在2010年当Nokia 的Symbian 系统还是全球智能手机系统一哥时,IDC当时预测到2013年会有68万部Android智能手机,在Nokia 的Symbian 后排名第二!。 最新数据显示有4亿8千万部Android手机在使用和每天有13万部Android设备被激活。
生日快乐,Android!

It is hard to believe, but today is Android's fourth birthday. It was on this date in 2008 when the Android Developers Blog announced that Android 1.0 SDK release 1 was available. At the time, there was also excitement about the upcoming release of the T-Mobile G1. The Apple iPhone 3G was just a little more than 2 months old and most of its competition was coming from featurephones like the LG Dare and the Samsung Instinct. A month after the release of Android 1.0 SDK, the T-Mobile G1 was launched. Android co-founder Andy Rubin later would say that Android 1.0 was more like .8 and that it had been rushed out for the Christmas season.
First Android handset, the T-Mobile G1
The launch of the T-Mobile G1 wasn't perfect. There was no virtual QWERTY or video player and the camera could not capture video. Android 1.5, aka Cupcake, was delayed but eventually enhanced the functionality of the phone. As we're often fond of saying, it was the release of Android 2.0 that really started the Android phenomena. That build of the open source OS was originally found on the Motorola DROID which was the first smartphone that could compete with the Apple iPhone.
We are now up to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and Android phones controlled 68% of the global smartphone market in the second quarter of the year, according to IDC. One model, the Samsung Galaxy S III sold more than 20 million units in 100 days. Four years ago today, that would be all in the future. Ironically, back in 2010 when Symbian was the top Global smartphone OS, IDC predicted that Android could be on 68 million smartphones by 2013, good enough for second place to Symbian. The latest figures show 480 million Android handsets in use with 1.3 million Android devices getting activated daily.
Happy Birthday, Android!
