But Windows Mobile was on phones well before Google got ahold of Android and got the Google Play Store up and running:

In Q1 2003, Windows Mobile was the third largest operating system in the smart handheld market, behind Symbian and Palm OS.

The earliest version of the Google Play Store was made available in 2008.
