Though we all knew it, now we have it in writing: [URL="http://androidcentral.com/tags/steve-jobs"]Steve Jobs [/URL]really hated [URL="http://androidcentral.com/tags/android"]Android[/URL], according to his biography, which will hit store shelves on October 24. [I]Steve Jobs[/I] by Walter Isaacson is said to detail what Jobs really thought about the competition, according to the AP, who purchased a copy before its official release.

[B]"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong... I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."[/B]

Jobs was said to be livid when [URL="http://androidcentral.com/tags/htc"]HTC[/URL] introduced one of its first Android phones, which he believed took popular iPhone features and passed them of as its own. Jobs was so angry, in fact, that when approached by [URL="http://androidcentral.com/tags/google"]Google's[/URL] [URL="http://androidcentral.com/tags/eric-schmidt"]Eric Schmidt[/URL] to settle the lawsuits, he refused.

[B]"I don't want your money... I want you to stop using our ideas in Android..."[/B]

It is always interesting to see the other side of the story, and in this case, the fundamental anger from Apple and Jobs himself driving the lawsuits against top Android manufacturers today.

OP: I'm going to destroy any conception of timeliness

More like Apple doesn't want people to copy their copying.

I never realized how much of a dick this guy is.

Everyone was too busy saying he's the best person after he died that they forgot how much he hated Android.

General reaction: "OMG STEF JOBZ IS DED OMG HIS SO AWESUM HE CREETED APPWE N WAS A TOTUL GEENIUZ END A INNUVEYTOR!!!!!!!1!1!11!!"

My reaction: "Steve Jobs is dead? Sucks for him, he was an asshole anyway and sells his shit for twice as much as he should've."

Steve Jobs probably didn't spend his last breath on destroying Android which means he lied, which means he's an asshole and a lying bastard.

Such a hypocrite. Lets steal everyone's ideas and even tell them we stole them, but once someone has something with the shape of something we have, we will waste all our money on destroying it.

Steve Jobs was a dick. Not saying I'm glad he's dead, but the world is better off without him.
