安卓系统今天五岁了（图）

新华网8月24日电 科技博客网站Gizmodo刊文纪念安卓系统问世五周年。

2008年的今天，谷歌高官们站在台上宣布推出传闻已久的T-Mobile G1（又被称为梦想HTC） 。这是第一款运行全新、Linux操作系统的商业产品，这个系统名叫安卓。推出之后，安卓系统反响不错。

戴斯·史密斯，原安卓研发团队的成员知悉，在自己的Google 页面上分享了他对安卓系统的回忆。过去的情形与现在大不相同：

我当时还担心50部“3G”手机可能会拖垮新建立的T-Mobile 3G 网络。于是，我们连夜将其中的一半都换成Wifi上网，对其进行了测试，然后才打包运出。

G1从一开始并不会立马改变生活，但它有这个前景。 虽非定论，但的确非常有可能，安卓系统即将星期，会对移动手机世界带来一场意义重大的影响。电容式的触摸屏，配以物理键盘和轨迹球，这些都让全新的安卓系统在G1手机上绽放。BA安卓1.0肯定会像电子邮件、谷歌地图以及移动互联网一样大获成功。

从那时到现在已有10亿部使用安卓系统的手机，从五年前到现在，安卓已经完全不同了，非常成熟。从一部一般手机上白手起家的安卓，现在已将触角伸向了照相机、手表甚至冰箱，而且这种发展的趋势无法预知其广阔的未来。

Today in 2008, Google executives stood on stage and announced the much-rumored T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream). It was the first commercial product to run a new, Linux-based operating system called Android. It turned out pretty OK.

Des Smith, one of the members of the original Android team, shared some of his recollections on Google . Things were different then:

I was worried that 50 "3G" phones might tear down the new T-Mobile 3G network! We switched half of them to WiFi tested them all out and packed up for the night.

I was so excited I couldn\'t sleep - we were about to change the world.

那篇改变世界的声明如下：

And here\'s how that world-changing announcement went down:

The G1 itself wasn\'t a life-changer from the get-go, but it showed promise。

Enough that it seemed possible—if not a foregone conclusion—that Android could take off and make a serious impact in the world of mobile phones. With a capacitive touchscreen, augmented with a physical keyboard and a trackball, the G1 was a showcase for all the fancy tricks the brand new Android 1.6 "Donut" 1.0 could pull off, like email, Google Maps, and mobile web-browsing. Exciting stuff.

One billion activated phones since then, and Android is a completely different—and damned mature—animal. From its humble beginnings on an OK phone, Android has branched out to cameras, watches, even refrigerators. And there\'s no end in sight.
