Debates have ranged among various fans and factions on</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">these sorts of topics for ages – or, in the case of iPhone vs. Android, since 2008. And while we can talk about</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">market share or handset sales or profits or penetration into the enterprise market, the debate rages on.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">One of the more interesting aspects of the iPhone vs. Android debate, though, is which came first. Of course,</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">everybody knows that the iPhone beat the first Android phone to market by about a year, but fewer people </p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">know that Google had been working on Android for quite some time before that (though they made some major</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">modifications once the iPhone proved popular). The timeline of the two platforms’ development turns out to be</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">a pretty interesting story.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">To tell that story, the folks at <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.applegazette.com/iphone/which-came-first-iphone-or-android/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">AppleGazette</a> put together an infographic showing the development of the iPhone</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">and Android in parallel, so you can really see which came first. It even contains a few surprises. For example,</p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">it turns out that the iPad was actually in development first, and was put on hold so Apple could work on the iPhone. </p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;">Check out the infographic below, then let us know what you think in the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.webpronews.com/infographic-iphone-android-2012-05" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">comments</a>:</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><a href="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/article_pics/applegazette_iphonevsandroid.jpg"><img alt="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/article_pics/applegazette_iphonevsandroid.jpg" class="jive-image" src="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/article_pics/applegazette_iphonevsandroid.jpg" /></a></p><p style="margin:0;"><strong>Via: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.webpronews.com/infographic-iphone-android-2012-05/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">WebProNews.com</a></strong></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: android, ipod, operative_system, honeycomb, ice_cream_sandwich, gingerbread, apple, ios, tablet, ipad, iphone</div>
