Alot of the market blatantly shamelessly rips off of Apple

[Bahroo]

Just as much as designing a touch screen phone as a rectangle is copying apple.

to be fair, the implementation all smartphones use today with multi touch points was made by Dreamsworks over a decade ago, the company Apple picked up before the first iPhone came out, Apple and Dreamworks are the first to ever make a mobile capacitive touch screen for mobile devices in masses

I dont see any samsung that looks anything similar to the 4.



But I think iphone 4 ripped off Nokia 78.

lol.
Nokia is dead because of the iPhone.
And I don't see the resemblance.

If you create a T-Shirt with a cool design and sell it in s, m, l sizes...

Then someone across the street stole your idea for the design and started selling it too but in s, m, l, and XL.

You would give that thief credit for the XL as a design invention?

lol

----------

What about the apple Message pad and their 6.1 inch displays?
Apple was there first with phablets and they even had a stylus.

----------




If I may interject.
Google and android stole those concepts from the Apple jailbreaking community first.

Oh really..

Yes, your interjection is most welcome then lol

Thank you for your useless post, and you mean the world to other companies too right. and what are you talking about looking at all the Apple praise? The OP was to get a point across, which is true

Damage control, the N1 looks exactly literally like a iPad Mini, it isn't about it being rectangular or black bezels, its the fact that it literally look like Apple's design, a iPad Mini, the N1 is a complete copy and rip off of Apple design this is obvious to see, not because it is "rectangular or black bezels" all iPads have a distinct well known look to the rest of the other tablets out there and the N1 is a blatant rip off(the N1 does look nice though i will admit with its specs too)

Unlike you, i have no company allegiance. I use all 3 platforms and am quick to criticize any flaw with them.

Keep up the good fight. Must be a hard job to be a hardcore defender.

Things Apple copied:

-Notification center
-Buggy 3rd party keyboards
-Settings panel

Things Android copied:

Everything about the core essence of how the device is used and designed from the ground up in principle and in scope.

Yeah you're right... I remember those times...

You only see what you want to see. Good for you.

There were touchscreen phones before apple whether stylus based or capacitive.

Essense of Android is the as same iphone? Not true.

Early Android has additional soft/hard buttons - back and menu making usage very different. Apps are in a drawer instead of home screen. Main ui is the widget home screen. It has true multi tasking and file system from onset. It doesn't need to chained to desktop with itunes like early ios. it uses java vm.

Through times ios gradually copied everything from android - multi task, notification center, folder, flat design, widget, 3rd party extensions.

When we boast about that we mean pinch to zoom, scrolling and sliding. The things that made it a navigation advantage rather than a hassle.

If you want to go back on some origin tip, Apple wins there too with the Newton.

Anyway. I never use Notification Center, widgets, nor 3rd party keyboards.

So those things were a curtesy to certain customer rather than something you can boast about like touch response or all glass face on a rectangle battery design theory, visual voicemail, desktop browsing on mobile, YouTube on mobile, or app stores.

Do you see the difference in your boasts and mine???

visual voicemail? Do you know my Nokia Symbian years before Iphone can act as an full-fledged answering machine (without any operators service) with visual. Same with the following: Symbian already have desktop browsing on mobile, YouTube on mobile, or app stores years before iphone. And LG Prada which is slate capacitive touchscreen phone was out before iphone.

You should just boast what you know (which from the look of it you know very little).

And what does how YOU think what functions/capabilities are useful or not have to do with anything. Sounds a bit narcissistic to me.

Not really. But whatever fits your way of thinking.

Touchscreen phones were around before the iPhone but that is about as far as the claim can go IMO. I owned a Nokia Xpress music and an LG Prada pre 2007 and they were light years behind in terms of user interface. Apple wiped the floor with the competition and delivered a product to the market that forced everybody to copy. Now they learn off each other because the demands have been set and Apple are still a leading force along with some welcome competition.

Yup I owned the lg Prada as well.
Didn't have multi touch and it screen was downright tiny.
I'm not even going to comment on the xpress with its pos resistive touchscreen.

None of those things were invented by Apple. Those same touchscreen gestures had been around YEARS before the iPhone.
