Of course Andy Rubin[0] from Danger (previously also General Magic as mentioned in article) went on to found Android as well - and Android itself owes (in a way) it’s own name to Apple (Andy’s nickname at Apple was apparently “Android”.)

What’s also interesting to me is that the Danger used NetBSD in at least some it’s projects, which is an OS dear to my heart. Always nice to see some of the “alternate takes”, “near misses”, or “could have been…” technologies on the past road to where we happen to be now.

The original Danger OS was home grown by some of the same folks that later started Zircon!
