At that time, Android’s team consisted of eight people and they all flew out to Seoul, South Korea, to meet up with Samsung who was (and probably still is) one of the largest phone makers. Unfortunately Samsung did not bite. Instead, according to Rubin (via Dogfight: How Apple and Google Went to War and Started a Revolution), their response who them telling the Android team, “‘You and what army are going to go and create this? You have six people. Are you high?’ is basically what they said. They laughed me out of the boardroom. This happened two weeks before Google acquired us.” Of course this sort of worked out for Samsung in the end as the South Korean tech giant is probably the biggest name when it comes to making Android devices, but to think that they could have been the ones to control Android’s distribution, how different the world might look today.
