Wow. Any place to read about that?


I found it in Fred Vogelstein's "Dogfight: How Apple and Google Went to War and Started a Revolution" [0]. Decent read, not amazing IMO, but with fun tidbits about the iPhone / Android launches

Any book about the development of the iphone or articles in the business press from a few months after product introduction (if any are still online…try Fortune).


I heard they did this for the Amazon Fire Phone, too
