How Google bought Android
It&#x27;s interesting that pre-acquisition Android seems like it was very much tailored to high-end feature phones.  There was no touch screen support, and even &quot;apps&quot; themselves seemed to be a bit of an afterthought, although of course better planned than the &#x27;J2ME profiles&#x27; mentioned in OP. The closest thing to it today would probably be KaiOS, even pure Linux on phones is aiming quite a bit higher. (Albeit with sxmo <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sxmo.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sxmo.org&#x2F;</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.postmarketos.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Sxmo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.postmarketos.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Sxmo</a> being a bit more minimalistic, even that is way above most feature phones.)
