.Sorry. Are you suggesting that Google hasn't invented anything? Everything they do is a copy of iOS or other Apple software?
Oh Really Now?
Don't. Just don't start that.

Please guys. Obvious flamebait response to a whole article that is itself flamebait. Don't get baited.
Yup - you are quite correct on both.
There's quite a lot of flame baiting in this particular topic.
Ok, say what you like, that iOS is better and so on, but stop with this stealing nonsense. That's just ridiculous.
Gotta give props to Tim Cook (or anyone else at Apple) for never responding to the flamebait from Google or Samsung.
----------
If only people would do the same on threads that involve Samsung.

Hmmm. Didn't Tim Cook throw some "flamebait" comments out there as well. No props are needed for any CEO who is doing their job - positioning their company as a leader.
Nah Rolls Royce = Symbian on Vertu
iOS is a lot closer to Honda when compared to Hyundai.
Apple's whole "They copied us!" campaign is also flamebait, as patent infringement has nothing to do with copying in the first place and I know of no copyright infringement assertions coming from Apple in the courts.
All sides are guilty of flamebait.
I buy Apple products because they are making all the profits. Market share is irrelevant.
----------
Apple is like Ferrari, not rolls Royce.
Well, we're talking about two businesses here, not high school girls trying to be voted in as prom queen. So... you use profits, not popularity.
If current trends continue, iOS will reach that 1%! Windows phone isn't even happening yet.
Naw. Apple will be a rounding error, like they now are in consumer desktops and especially, in professional workstations.
We're talking about it from a consumer perspective. As a consumer, I don't give 2 craps about profits. It doesn't benefit me.
Ever play with one of these? The hardware is much better designed than the iPhone. If Verizon carried it, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
Y E S !!! The sooner the better. I've said it many times before. I believe it is crucial to APPLE's long-term survival.
They have the resources to do so. It is imperative, if they are to remain viable 10-20 years from now.

Maybe, he's laughing all the way to the bank?

Apple sucks at online services. Search is a very fine art, search engines are a dime a dozen, ones that actually work are few and far between.
Google has years of research poured into search.
Apple is already stretched thin as it is and outside of online commerce, Apple has had very little success with online services.
I have to say, I'm really wondering if history is going to repeat itself. Apple had a better OS and machines in the 1990's, but Windows became "good enough" and won due to larger market share.
Are we going to see the same thing in mobile? Not that I need Apple to win the MS battle, I just want them to have enough profits to continue to build great stuff.
As for Google, I do find it lame that they inititally set out to copy the Blackberry and when the iPhone came and was a hit, they turned and copied it.
I really believe if Apple didn't release the iPhone in 2007 smartphones would still look like Blackberries and Treos today.

Where is the war
"The Mobile War"... Sure makes good copy.
Normally a war necessitates that entities start shooting at each other, but in the case of google I guess that "winning a war" looks good on paper. Considering the different business approaches of google, apple and m$, I even sometimes wonder whether the three are actually competing in the same market.
