Android co-founder returns with new project

According to Business Insider, Andy Rubin (Andy Rubin), who co-founded Android and has been its president for a long time - until the latter was absorbed by Google and became a key component of the good corporation’s business - plans to return to the smartphone market again .

There is information that Andy Rubin opens his own company, and he is currently engaged in recruiting people into his team. However, it is not yet clear whether Rubin plans to own the future enterprise himself, or will simply finance the company. Nevertheless, both for Andy himself and for the public it is clear that the market for Android phones is very promising, both in terms of innovation and in terms of profit. Like it or not, but the popularity of the Android platform is very high.

Even Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and the owner of the company's shares, is of the opinion that devices running Windows 10 Mobile should work with Android applications. Therefore, he was one of those who spoke in support of the now-suspended Project Astoria project - which was aimed precisely at ensuring that Windows devices could work with Android.

The new company Andy Rubin will receive funding through the Playground Fund incubator, which was founded by Andy this year after he finally said goodbye to Google in the fall of 2014. Playground Fund has collected 300 million dollars, which are invested in the development of artificial intelligence technologies and the development of companies dealing with the issues of smart homes. Rubin is also a partner of another venture firm Redpoint Ventures. In any case, whatever the plans of Mr. Andy Rubin, most likely they are very ambitious, and perhaps in the future his new company will grow into one of the IT titans and will be able to compete for market share with modern giants such as Google and Apple. .
