Apples new drop down notifications and Stolen WiFi Sync

[irock1985]

So I wonder how long before someone sues them for copying it... At all the new features they announced I was like we already have that on Android lol

Edit: also they seem to have stolen this devs app

Apple Steals Devs App

Oh well. If you're going to copy, you might as well copy from the best.

Why re-invent the wheel, right?

You mean like how androids GUI was pretty much a copy of ios in its original form?

Look, there's only so many ways to do notifications, and there's only so many ways to design a GUI for a touchscreen device. We should all be flattered apple borrowed the design for their revised OS, and leave it at that.

Everyone steals from everyone. I don't have a big problem with what Apple did, as software companies have been doing this since the beginning of time. They just need to stop acting like everything they think up is revolutionary, and stop suing everyone who takes "inspiration" from their products just like they did with all these new "features" today.

I don't want any suing to result from this, but I do admit it will be nice to see them get some of their own medicine. I'm also happy that Apple fans finally get features we have been enjoying since 1.6, now let's all be civil and enjoy our respective platforms.

I'm a proud owner of an Android device. Just say it loud and leave it at that. (Smile)

Gotta love people who blame Apple for copying when Android actually copied the iphone from the start. LOL If it wasn't for the iphone and the ideas it had, Android, Web OS, Win 7, etc would not be out today. So stfu with that crap.

That would probably have been a little too close to Android.

They're saving that for ios 6.

It was big, but not nearly as revolutionary as you think it was. Many of their "ideas" were already present in other devices.

What's the use of dozens of good ideas spread throughout multiple devices that are only mediocre? (hint: that's why blackberries suck.)

Whether Apple took ideas or not doesn't matter. They took an idea and ran with it. They were successfully running for several years before someone was able to catch up and hold their own. That's what really matters and now Android has more than posed a threat.

The real question now, is what's next for Android. Apple's pretty much got feature parity now (on stock systems, mind you), so how is Google going to differentiate Android?

I think it will just depend on the needs we will have in the future (i.e. using your phone to control home appliances like that one demo).

Google needs to learn from RIM and constantly be innovating to avoid falling behind. Blackberry is taking a dive because they rode the familiar for too long. With iOS 5 apple has caught up on a few key features, and ICS needs to be huge to avoid losing ground.

UI overhall, BBM(or similar)... In today's market you can't afford to fall behind.

Exactly. Google will need to focus on the consumer needs and keep innovating. Using phones for more than we do now may be key.

Agreed. Blackberry needs to continue evolving just like Palm eventually did. Except for Palm it was a tad bit late an they didn't seem to have a big push.
