Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt defended Google by saying the company was a great innovator. This response is the answer to the accusation of theft of an idea that was brought Apple iPhone Steve Jobs.

In an interview for the biography of Steve Jobs before he died, Jobs said Android is a stolen product. “I will destroy the Android, because it was stolen,” he said as written Steve Walter Isaacson, author of ‘Steve Jobs’.

Since the allegations surfaced, Google even though the public was forced to respond. In one occasion, Schmidt says what it says Jobs as contained in the book are not true biography. She also admits she still feels sad and lost for the death of Jobs.

“I decided to not comment on the statement released by Jobs in his biography after his death. I think it’s not true,” Schmidt said as he describes Jobs as an admirable figure who will be missed.

“Most people would agree that Google is also a great innovator. And I also want to clarify that Android has begun its efforts before the iPhone launch. That’s all I want to say,” Schmidt said as reported by CBS News and quoted on Wednesday (9 / 11 / 2011).

Jobs and Android does have a history of bad relationships. Schmidt himself had occupied the Apple board in 2006 to 2009, but then resigned and worked for Google. The exit of Schmidt then followed with the launch of Android. No doubt, Google was dealing directly with Apple in the smart phone business.

Jobs felt betrayed by the actions Schmidt. “I will launch a thermonuclear war over this,” said Steve as written in his biography. Jobs statement was associated with lawsuits many times asked Apple to handset makers that use Android, such as Samsung and HTC.
