Uhm.... Google bought Android Inc. in 2005 who already have been working 2  
years on Android with a small number of highly qualified engineers. Let's guess 
it was just 5 guys -- that makes it 10 manyears until 2005. Until 2008 Google 
worked 3 years on it with ... guessing again .. 50 engineers. That makes an 
additional 150 manyears.

I would consider 160 man years as everything but a "comparibly short time".
