Qualcomm and Twitter join in on Cyanogen’s $80 million funding round

Cyanogen made headlines a few weeks back by announcing its intention to wrestle control of Android away from Google, a bold claim to say the least. While it may not seem like a small software startup could take a multi-billion dollar technology behemoth’s own operating system away from it, Cyanogen is getting quite a lot of support from companies that think it’s capable of doing just that. Big names like Qualcomm and Twitter have joined in on an $80 million round of Series C funding for the startup.
