That is dirty. Apple innovate, show everyone the way forward, everyone copies them and then all snark together to do dirty deals to try and muscle Apple out of the game. Pretty low.
That's actually NOT what happens, but since this is Apple Insider, I can see why a comment so misleading such as this was eventually posted
This is completely ridiculous. MS has been threatening Linux vendors/distributors with patent infringements for years, but they have, as far as I know, never shown which of their patents are infringed. Now they try the same thing with Android. It's amazing what they get away with. Someone has to put a stop to this.

There's no need to, look at the utter failure of Nexus one phone, they'll fall on their own swords, iPhone OS is supremely better than Android, and all the other competing operating system mobile handsets out there. They're all playing catchup to the 1st gen iPhone and failing hard.
Last time I checked, there was no App store for mobile smart phones until Apple stepped in, there was no popular raving touch based smart phone until Apple made one, how can anyone suggest Apple was trying to mimick symbian or blackberry OS when they envisioned the iPhone OS. Man I suppose windows based monkeys are that stupid.
I thought rumors were saying that HTC was thinking of buying Palm. I'd hate to see Apple acquire them, as the webOS is quite good. I own a Palm Pre, and I love and use it more than my iPod Touch! I don't know if Palm can survive on their own, but I'm hoping before they go they start licencing out the OS, or make it open source (it is Linux after all).

I don't share your opinion zindako. There is so much wrong with the iPhone I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Check again. Apple did not invent the app store concept for smart phones. Actually, likely Danger did...who owns Danger now?

Well hello there little red button.
Seriously, are people absolutely incapable of having a discussion WITHOUT personal insults?
Ok that made me because there are DEFINITELY some similarities there. That's just funny.
The thing is though is it's different enough. Really the only thing I see the same is the magnifier and ability to resize a selection. The popup menu gives more functionality than iphone.
What else do you have? The copy and paste example was a good one and showed me something I was unaware of, but is it enough to constitute calling android a wannabe iphone OS? Are there other obvious copies?

...how is Android like iphone OS?...
Look familiar?

HP just bought Palm for 1.2 billion
Do you have a link to this news?

I wouldn't touch my iPhone with a 10 foot pole either, a finger is far better.

After all the App store was rolled into it, it uses the same biiling systems etc.
Have a Palm to the face (maybe you can buy one off HP).

Your missing the big picture..
You're missing an apostrophe and an e.
I used my coworkers Android Nexus one phone, I cringed in disgust navigating its various UI functions,
Wow. What happens to you if you use a Windows computer?

Was Danger around before the iTunes store?

Wow. So a desktop music store is now the same idea as a mobile app store.
Btw, apple didn't invent online music stores either.
You are right, your post demands a facepalm. No wonder non apple users get annoyed with all apple fans. They actually think we all think like that.

Don't worry, he didn't actually use a nexus one. He's saying what he thinks people around here like to hear
They actually think we all think like that.
what you say flies in the face of everything I've ever known. A whole new world is emerging in my mind: A world where people CAN ACTUALLY THINK!

In the bad old days, both the OS manufacturer and lots of other locations had cool app stores for your phone.
