I don't know about you folks but I was not one year old when I was born. I was zero.

My first birthday was celebrated one year after I was born.

This is not that complicated.

Durr...

There is plenty of innovation from both camps (clearly), all you're doing is expressing your ignorance to the market outside of Apple... All 85.2% of it.

Android software and hardware has also had a major influence on iOS, from multitasking to notifications, NFC/mobile payments, voice commands, device size, etc.

You make a good point and I would mention Palm here as well.

Palm laid much groundwork for the future of smart devices as we now know them. As did the Newton for that matter.

Everyone has clearly lifted ideas and implementations from each other over the decades. Cards - Palm, Window Shade - Android, Grid of icons - well that goes back quite a while by now. We should all know by know that absorbing the best ideas and implementations is the best way to go.

I would say Apple has easily influenced the smartphone market more than most. But they have and will continue to lift good ideas from others.

The benefit has been to us, as consumers. As well as to a few gigantic multi-national corporations. I guess I don't mind a bit either way. Just keep delivering better products and I won't mind.

If a car company comes up with a better crumple zone that saves lives, or better seat belts, gas mileage etc., and another car company implements it, I honestly don't mind and don't see what all the fuss is about. The planet is better off with better and safer cars, as well as all devices in general.

One can scream and shout about theft of IP, the R&D money wasted for nothing, and on and on. But the world is a better place with the best thing for consumers. Even if only one company came up with an idea or implementation of something, do we really want that single company to hold all of the cards?

Otherwise how in the world are we ever going to get off this rock?

By fighting over something so silly as smartphones? I think not.

The more I read the comments on these boards the more I think this is absolutely a religion to people. It's possibly the most important thing to them in the world.

They would rather see some one else suffer than to see a better world for everyone else. (less)
