Google this week showed the first sketches of mobile device. Called "Googlephone", originally conceived in mid 2006, it was revealed during the trial of the lawsuit filed by Oracle against the search giant. Oracle owns Java and states that the source code of Android has copied parts of his language, thus requiring compensation for breach of copyright.
Two years before the official launch of the first Android smartphone, the HTC G1, the oldest ancestor of googlephones exhibited a physical keyboard and there was no mention of touchscreen or something. In fact, there are few technical details and the only description of the features is that it "would integrate Web 2.0 services in a simple way to use the phone."
At the time there were not any mention of Android. Google bought a startup founded by Andy Rubin in 2005, but only in 2007 the little robot platform has been certified by the operators.
Other details about the device were not disclosed, but at the time Google was working with the hypothesis launch the model with a processor ARMv9 200 MHz, 64 MB of RAM, a miniSD external storage, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 1.2 and screen 16-bit color - settings worthy of laughter today. Remarkable, only Google's plan to offer unlimited data connection to customers for an affordable $ 9.99 a month - far less than the $ 29.90 charged monthly on the HTC G1.
The process of Oracle against Google was filed in 2010, but the trial only began on April 16. In the process, Oracle claims that Google has no authorization to use certain features of Java and seeks damages of $ 1 billion. Google defends itself already showing a post made by Jonathan Schwartz, former CEO of Sun Microsystems, Java developer acquired by Oracle in 2010, in which the executive gave his blessing to use the Android platform.
