Michael, I was speaking as much about the exterior of the cell phones looking so similar, the internal chip sets a all pretty much made by the same people, then I guess it all comes down to software.

Paul: An interesting analogy, but not really comparable because they all may be using the same chipset and that is not plagarizing. I have noticed that a new bunch of portable MP3 players offer identical features (i.e., mp3, identical memory capacity, FM radios built in, capable of recording from FM, voice recording). Great minds running in parallel? No, probably just new chipsets put to good use. The comparison to a cell phone with highly integrated chipsets is quite different from discrete part radios.
