The whole "Android copied Apple" stuff was always fairly stupid IMO. Android was started back in 2003. Google bought it with plans to further develop it as a mobile phone OS in 2005. Eric Schmidt didn't join the Apple board until late in 2006. Yet Android came from Apple ideas.

At the worst Google might have seen how a mobile platform could be integrated during late 2006 and into 2007 and taken some cues from Apple. But Google had plans for Android development no matter what Apple was doing, and had them in progress well before any possible inside info they got from Schmidt on the board. No one here has any idea what direction they were going, or even if Apple borrowed any ideas for the iPhone from Google during Mr. Jobs walks/talks with Sergey and company.

With the possible exception of Samsung, nobody (the Chinese don't count) "stole" anything from anybody IMO. Each of the players has tried to better the others with each feature improvement. Google, HP, Microsoft, Apple, Asus, HTC . . . Each thinks they have a better way to do certain mobile features, even tho the original idea came from someone else.

The original Android looked like a Blackberry. This is well documented. The modern Android is a clear copy of the multi-touch touchscreen keyboardless phone first created by Apple.

Android is a clear and obvious copy of the iPhone. WP7 isnt.

Sigh. I don't want to have to yet again go find those pictures of the RIM like Android prototype that was making the rounds before they got a look at the iPhone, please don't make me.

As usual (with these kinds of discussions, not you personally), this is a complete straw man argument. No one, that I know of, is claiming that Google made a phone because of the iPhone or that it was "copying" to simply have gotten into the handset business.

What does get said, because it's undeniably true, is that Google was chasing the RIM/WIndows model of smartphone, with a ton of little buttons and a small screen, until the iPhone was released, whereupon "Android" magically transformed into a big screen with multitouch. Just like every other smart phone abruptly did.

I just get so tired of the idea that Apple released the iPhone and then, just sort of coincidentally, everyone else got around to making the very iPhone like phones that they no doubt had intended to make all along.

It wasn't just that their prototypes were chasing the Blackberry. The first Android phone, the G1 (released in late 2008), was very much in keeping with pre-iPhone smart phones.



It's use of touch was quite limited. Android then gained more and more features of the iPhone over the following 3 years. Many features, such as pinch to zoom, were kept back because Google didn't know if implementing them would infringe on Apple's IP.

And they didn't stop making phones like that. You can get many Android phones with potrait keyboards today. And that was never a publicly released device. Yet it had many of the features that you see in every Android up to today. It laid out the desktop concept, the app drawer, the notification blind, etc. Suggesting that Google 'copied' iOS flat out is extremely simplistic. Google did, however, certainly make Android far more touchscreen friendly after iOS came out. But the basic features of Android were laid out well before iOS....and some of those features are now being incorporated into iOS.

Not just the notifications for the taskbar. Lockscreen notifications from Samsung Touchwiz. Split Keyboard from Windows. Camera quick start from Windows Phone. My apps function from Android Market. Android intents with iCloud. iMessage from BBM.

None of that is to say that Apple is wrong. I'm glad to see they are finally incorporating this stuff into iOS. This is just part of the cycle of innovation. Heck, some of these changes could prompt me to get an iPhone if they get the hardware features I want and decide to support my network.

Does it really matter that one of the original ideas for a "Google phone" (pre-iPhone) resembled a Blackberry more than an iPhone? All it shows is that Google was smart enough to realize Apple's idea was an improvement over anything RIM had done with hardware. Blackberry's design was destined for the dustbin and Google could see that.

But they never intended to manufacture phones to compete with Apple in the first place. So what a mock-up looked like that was intended to shop to potential partners doesn't really matter at the end of the day does it? It wasn't "magic" but probably recognition that Apple had a great idea. Knowing that, would it have been smart of Google to carry on with a RIM-flavored design that they had determined had no future? Obviously not.

No, that's not what I'm telling you. I'm telling you Apple created a new touchscreen UI for phones and other devices virtually from scratch and Google copied all of it. Inertial scrolling, swipe, pinch to zoom, the way touch-based UI widgets work, the on-screen keyboard, copy and paste, the way the browser works, many of the basic design elements of apps, and so on. Sure, there's a few things that are different. Some of them come from the fact that Android was originally going after the Blackberry and had a menu and icon based UI more suited to a track ball. Some stuff is original. But the bulk of it, as it has developed over the last 3 years, was directly copied from the iPhone.

Good to see that Apple continues to take ideas and feature design directly from the jailbreak community. At least someone knows what people want and how to get it to them quickly and well done. Here's to Apple continuing to copy jailbreak devs for future iOS features!

I think it's very different to have complete control knowing that if you have v4.3.0 then you can work out what needs applied to go to 4.3.1 etc. This is very different from Windows (or Mac OS X) where you can have different file installed by patches, application upgrades, changes, losing files, duplicate DLLs, service packs etc. or different versions of Windows.

If you can work out the delta between 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 it will provide you the differences you need to update. What it should mean is that you will have a binary compatible version of 4.3.1 and there will be no difference to whether you started with it, or upgraded, or which version you upgraded from.

The extra control that Apple have over the operating system of the phone means they can do this.

If you had said influenced by the iPhone, I'd agree with much of what you wrote. Copied?

There's a lot of influences going around the mobile community. Outright copying not so much.

An approach to a bit of business is an influence. The iPhone inalterably changed the smartphone market, and iOS is inalterably changing the PC market. That's not influence, that's historic.

That grade, along with the interest, skills and confidence gained, repaid the investment in the iPad -- many times over...

Up until this year, he had always been a poor to average student.

I'm guessing he doesn't, but is just taking the opportunity to post the equivelent of all the other posts that claim Microsoft copied Apple ignoring the fact they couldn't develope a feature that quick. Or just look at the topics from a few days ago claiming MS were copying Apple by announcing the Xbox updates on the same day as Apples conference, despite the fact their different products and the alternative would have to be moving E3 to a different week!

It's not like they are intentionally holding it back or anything - indeed, I'm sure the only reason they are tipping their hands is to give developers time to get ready for the new features. Imagine that - announcing the new version with classes on how to take advantage of them at a - gasp - developers conference!

I'm glad you admit they weren't the first to play with mulit-touch concepts. The important distinction, along with most things Apple, is they were the first to bring the technology in a readily accessible and affordable way to the masses.

It's something they seem to have a knack for the and the rest of the industry tends to have their collective thumbs up their bungs blinking in disbelief and denial. It's not about geek oriented checklists, developers or the tech press - it's about the users! The average joe users too....

I'm sure you meant it as a trivialization and a slant but really it's the highest compliment. To make something popular it has to be accessible. That's what Apple excels at. Their market cap is no accident despite the fervent denials by the blind haters in forums like this one

If it was so bloody easy or just marketing, why is Apple the only company that seems to "get it" then?

Yup. Just like for the vast majority of people, a full blown personal computer (Mac or Windows) is overkill. iOS is going to move into the "everyman computer" role that up until now general purpose personal computers held.

And just like Mainframes and minicomputers didn't go away but evolved, the general purpose PC's role will evolve too. It will still be there for those who want or need them.

I swear the rampant paranoia and insecurity around iOS by some makes the hyperventilation over the mere existence of the Mac by some non-Apple users pale in comparison

For the same reason Google Voice doesn't get native support.

Now that Microsoft owns Skype and the underlying technology, that's the last thing Apple should support natively in iOS 5.

If you need Skype (or GV), get the apps for it.

Heh, Microsoft itself is saying Apple is copying the "split keyboard" idea from Win 8. What will be funny is the iOS 5 will be on iPads about 1 year before Win 8 hits the market.

The relationship between Geeks and Joes is one strained beyond imagination, but is the reason for the world we live in today.

The Geeks have provided the tech and information necessary for the Joes to enjoy such benefits.

However the Geeks would have no incentive to make their technologies or ideas public if the Joes were not as supportive.

The only major conflict was to who should set the standard. The Joes being more plentiful outright won that battle. The Joe is still dependent however on the geek to supply him/her with products and/or protect them from other geeks.
