As copies of the eagerly awaited book leaked out ahead of its Monday sale date, reports of its contents also showed that Jobs was outraged by Google’s move into smartphone software, at one point saying he would spend everything Apple had to stop what he saw as theft of its ideas. “I’m going to destroy Android because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this,” Jobs says at one point in the book, according to the Associated Press. The AP account does not explain why Apple has sued only makers of phone handsets using Google’s Android software, and not Google itself. Jobs though saved most of his anger for the internet search company and then-chief executive Eric Schmidt, who had served on Apple’s board before Android was introduced. At one meeting between the two Silicon Valley chiefs at a Palo Alto restaurant, Jobs told Mr Schmidt that he wouldn’t take a cash settlement to drop litigation, not even $5bn, the AP said.
