Why Projects Succeed: Lessons Learned from the Android OS
summary
Project starts as two people building a camera OS then is acquired by Google in 2005 after a 3,000 lines of JavaScript demo; the team builds from kernel up, adds wake locks, chooses Java and implements the Dalvik runtime and DEX format, ships SDK with Eclipse plugin and emulator, pivots for touchscreen, launches 1.0 on G1 in 2008, achieves hockey-stick growth after Droid, and by 2021 runs on 3 billion devices.
