Got to love the alleged view of the UK mobile networks:
Citing an “extremely reliable” source, [Professeur Thibault] first goes on to address the absence of a Focus S equivalent in Europe which is apparently due to carriers’ unwillingness to stock a device that looks so similar to the Galaxy S II. If there were ever a good incentive to not be lazy with design for Samsung, that would be it…and it really does look to have gotten to them. The source goes on to say the leading OEM is ready to release new models this year for Europe and that, “they should be beautiful”.
My emphasis, via Windows Phone Daily.
I’m sure that private and public timeline are different, and arguing that the Android timeline is “older” because it was more in the public eye than Apple will cause no end of fanboy wars. But if you want to look at timelines, how about Android before iPhone and Android after iPhone?

So pardon me if I raise an eyebrow to Eric Schmidt today:
…I think most people would agree that Google is a great innovator and I would also point out that the Android effort started before the iPhone effort.
