The story of how Android came to be, and how it managed to survive and thrive in a crowded field of competitors, is an interesting story of people, teams, and vision. But it's also an educational tale of how products can succeed, which can help inform future ideas, startups, companies, acquisitions, and projects throughout tech and business overall.
This session will draw from the recently published book, Androids: the Team That Built the Android Operating System, to see what we can all learn from the Android project, which started as two people building a camera OS and resulted in a platform running on more than 3 billion devices today.
