tynamite's avatar Android was supposed to be a blackberry clone, and early prototypes of hardware and software show this, considering that the person who made Android before made Danger (T-Mobile Sidekick) which was later brought by Microsoft to make the Kin, so Google purchased Android but after Steve Jobs approached Google to make YouTube and Maps apps for the iPhone before the App Store got released, they decided to make an iPhone clone, and when Android got released, Steve Jobs got angry and sued Google for stealing patents, intellectual property and for Android being a stolen product.

Sun later sued Android for stealing parts of the Java source code, especially as the Android source code has comments in it saying it's been copied saying "do not leak!!!!"

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
