Steve Jobs was furious at what he saw as simply copying ideas from Apple on Android phones from HTC, says the biography

Steve Jobs has promised to "destroy Android" in his anger at what he considered a simple copy Apple's ideas on the Android phones released in early 2010, according to a new biography was published after his death this month.

Walter Isaacson, the official biographer of Jobs, Jobs said he was livid, in January 2010 when the Taiwanese HTC introduced Android phone with many of the most popular iPhone. He launched into a tirade of insults charge in which he said that Google's actions amounted to "theft."

At that time, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, then again and its president, left the board of directors of Apple, where he worked between 2006 and 2009 - is crucial, which covers the period when the iPhone first came out and that allowed Google to negotiate an agreement to provide search, maps and video services on mobile YouTube.

"I will spend my last breath if I need it, and I spend every cent of Apple's $ 40 billion in the bank, to repair this injustice," said Isaacson Jobs. "I will destroy Android, because it is a stolen product. I am ready to go to nuclear war in this area."

At a later meeting with Schmidt in a cafe in Palo Alto, California, Jobs said Schmidt was not interested in settling this dispute, the book says. "I do not want your money. If I offer $ 5 billion, I do not want. I have a lot of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, it's all I want to. " The meeting, Isaacson wrote, nothing resolved.

  • The meeting may be the one that occurred in late March 2010, when the duo was seen at the cafe terrace of a cafe in Palo Alto and has been widely discussed on the web. Jobs and Schmidt appeared to be on good terms - although the content of the discussion was not clear. Working time has heard: "You will see all the time, who cares how they do it" but then added, "We will discuss this more private place."
  • At that time, Apple had filed a lawsuit against HTC, alleging that it violated 20 patents owned by Apple. In the press release, the job was quoted as saying .. "We can sit and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something, we decided to do something about it, we think competition is healthy, but competitors must create your own original technology, not ours fly. "
  • application has not yet been resolved. HTC-attack against Apple, and tit for tat battle continues
  • Claims
  • Apple patents against HTC
  • apply against all Android smartphones, if successful, Florian Müller suggests, an independent consultant in the patent field. In July, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that HTC has infringed a patent Apple and that could mean a ban on imports from the United States may be applicable. HTC has launched an appeal against the decision.
The decision is based on a key patent filed by Apple in 1996, which is valid until 2016. Known as "647" turns phone numbers or addresses into links.

After Google launched its Android operating system in late 2008, and phones first appeared in 2009, the rivalry between the two companies have become more intense - especially after Google started Android to adapt to many of the ideas introduced by the iPhone, such as controlling the touch screen to control a wide range of icons and the "pinch to reduce the size" of the system to resize images.

Isaacson biography work officially released Monday.
