If I remember correctly, android was already under development, but huge changes were made after the iPhone came out.
Android was close to being released, but it was going to be much more like a BlackBerry, with a keyboard focus. They delayed the release to retool it somewhat with more of a touch focus.
"somewhat" is doing a lot of work here. I mean, they didn't re-write the kernel, but you can google example of the UI pre and post iPhone announcement.
