This kind of lineage is interesting, but I don’t give large amounts of credit-for-success to a company that failed at what they were trying to do, or gave up and sold themselves off. How much of why Android is huge today could really be attributed to Danger? Not too much, in my book.

Can we really say that Danger could have accomplished the same thing? I was in the carrier industry at that time and Danger was just another handset company.
