Tor: "Android didn't copy the iPhone" If we can believe Gizmodo, then the first Android prototypes looked like Blackberries before Android started following the iPhone (http:// random.andrewwarner.com/what-googles-android-looked-like-before-and- after-the-launch-of-iphone). To me, there's nothing wrong with being a "fast follower" as Google is - and Apple certainly copies from other sources, too (iOS 5 is full of this). Bonus point: Tablets didn't all look like that certain tablet either (http://twitpic.com/67ykpa).
Dick: "How many different ways are there to present icons and buttons and pixels on a screen" Look no further than Microsoft Zune music player / Windows Phone 7: That does look unlike anything else on smartphones (http:// www.riagenic.com/archives/487). Of all companies, Microsoft with a innovative UI - the irony! Dick: "Apple started the smartphone patent wars" Nokia started it - they sued Apple in October 2009 (http:// www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/oct/22/telecoms-nokia). Apple "only" sued HTC in March 2010 (http://technologizer.com/2010/03/02/apple-sues- htc/). Logitech Revue More Revue units were returned by customers than being sold in the last quarter (http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File? item=UGFyZW50SUQ9MTAxNTAzfENoaWxkSUQ9LTF8VHlwZT0z&t=1, top of page 7). So lowering the price seems like a firesale to me to clear out inventory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
