In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software. But they couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, shipping an operating system (including camera software) to over three billion devices worldwide.

This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen.

One of the Best Computer History Books Written

5 stars

I can count the number of 5-star reviews I've given on one hand. I've not enjoyed a computer history book this much since "Defying Gravity: The Making of the Newton" nearly 30 years ago.

Haase is a sparkling writer who has made the footnote into an educational and comedic art form.
