Danger company history timeline

2000

More than most subjects in Curriculum 2000, History has suffered radical, and deleterious, reform.

2003

Co-founder Andy Rubin left in 2003 to create the company Android, which was later acquired by Google.

2008

After the Microsoft acquisition in 2008, the former Danger staff were absorbed into the Mobile Communications Business (MCB) of the Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division, where they worked on a future mobile phone platform known as "Project Pink" which would eventually be released as Kin.

2013

Until March 2013, Rubin headed Android development, and brought former Danger Director of Design Matias Duarte to Google.

The Register described the Microsoft acquisition as "a classic case of M & A failure, where the acquirer has failed to integrate either the technology or the people from the company that it bought." Later in 2013 Microsoft purchased Nokia's mobile phone business, which is also seen as a failure.
