Android was originally built with a small team, and Andy Rubin resisted growing the team for a long time. But a lot of the worst parts of the design were laid down at that point, so I'm not sure it was necessarily such a good approach!
yes! imho, that's the noteworthy aspect of this story. those two features (Andy Rubin. small team.) of the original Android platform are going to try again? the track record is not great. if Google hadn't bought it and used its vast powers to promote the thing, would it even still exist?
i don't know. maybe they'll get it right this time...
