Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

🤯 Holy crap how did I not know this! I thought they developed it in house!
Looked up the history and they bought it so early on that effectively the whole thing was developed by Google.
They bought the startup in 2005 and the first phone came out in 2008.
Android used to be it’s own thing, check out the “Droid” phones.
What do you mean by this? What did Motorola Droid phones have to do with Google owning Android or Android being it’s own company back in like… 2003? The first Droid used Android as developed by Google in 2009. Google had aquired Android years prior to Droid being a thing. Most Android devices are not created by Google, even to this day.
The Droid turbo phone did nothing wrong.
