This article has nothing to do with the iPhone. Again this is an entry level device targeting a young demographic much like the sidekick. I'm sure it gives the usuals an opportunity to masturbate over Apple design but this is completely unrelated.

And I disagree with Balmer on the majority of what he says, but he was spot on about the iPhone. If AT&T didn't subsidize the device, it would have languished - especially in this economy. The original iPhone business model was tanking internationally without economic worries.
 
The tag line should be: "We are Microsoft. We copy others all the time."

Uhh, you realise that practically any company with ambitions, will have to copy others? Microsoft is guilty of it, but so is Apple.

That said, those phones do look hilarious.

Dude, the MacBook looks like a lot of the other laptops out there! It has a keyboard, a screen, a trackpad and everything! Copied straight from Dell and Toshiba!!


Actually it was the exact other way around. apple created the first true portable laptop with a mouse and all that was copied by the industry.
