There has been a constant War on Android since it came out. Steve Jobs always insisted that Android was based on stolen ideas. Yesterday, Google CEO, Larry Page, commented on the ongoing battle during an Interview stating, that the whole "war" was "actually just for show".
It was quite obvious for some time that the late Steve Jobs had it out for Android. Google and Apple we're in multiple law suits about different things over the past years, and are still fighting them now. Steve Jobs seemed pretty serious about his hate for the contending smartphone OS. Even so much that there's a quote from his biography that goes a little something like, “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”
