Steve Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android – Tell in biography

Steve Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android – Tell in biography As bits leaked from the impending Steve Jobs documentary by Walter Isaacsson flood the news cycle, the depth of Jobs’ hatred of Android may get little play. Yet Jobs vowed to spend all of Apple’s $40 billion in cash to kill the iPhone iOS competitor.

 More, he threatened “thermonuclear war” if necessary to kill Android. This anger was directed at the company run by Eric Schmidt, who was on Apple’s board of directors until August 2009. Could it be that Schmidt did something in private that aggravated the often volatile Jobs more than normal? Usually, only someone close to you can drive you that crazy.

Since we’ll never know the real reason, let’s move to the comments. As always with Jobs and iPhone in the headline, passions run hot. But not hot enough for thermonuclear war. Now with Steve Jobs’ biography nearing its October 24 release, a number of excerpts have been leaked out to the public including Jobs’ incredible disdain for the Android operating system and what he saw as blatant theft on the part of Google. According to the Associated Press, which purchased a copy of the book early, Jobs launched into a profanity-laced tirade when speaking to biographer Walter Isaacson about Android:

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.
