[Tech] Steve Jobs vowed to 'Destroy' Android

The Apple Co-founder (Steve Jobs) who died earlier this month of Pancreatic Cancer, was enraged by Google's Android, the best selling Operating System.

"I will spend my last breath and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the Bank, to right this wrong." He told Walter Isaacson, the author of an official biography to be published in United States.

"I'm going to Destroy Android as it is a Stolen Product. I am willing to go Thermonuclear war on this."

Apple has been engaged in a battle with Google's manufacturing partners like Samsung for over a year. His official Biography is the first time Mr. Jobs personal anger over the dispute has been revealed.

Apple has alleged that Samsung Smartphones and Tablets are copies of iPhone and iPad.

Apple has also targeted HTC and Motorola which Google bought. That was widely seen as an attempt to destroy Android by acquiring Motorola's patent portfolio.

The iPhone was unveiled in January and promoted the Smartphone Revolution.

At that time, Eric Schmidt (the Chief Executive of Google) resigned as the two firms became increasingly fierce rivals.

In Mar 2010, Mr Jobs and Mr. Schmidt were pictured at a coffee meeting in Palo Alto. Referring against the HTC Handset, Mr. Jobs told Mr. Schmidt : "I don't want your Money, If you offer me $5 billion, I won't take it."
     "I have got huge money. I want you to stop using Apple's Ideas on Android."
