I'm kinda pissed apple couldn't come up with something original for notifications

 

[Dark Wizard Matoya]

I can't wait for Ice Cream Sandwich to be released and blow iOS 5 out of the water.

Awesome avatar, by the way.

Its true. Love my android but its getting harder to say its a better platform

 

[IceDree]

Yes , they got the "Notification tray" form Android , but Apple's Notification Center is way ahead of Android's sad & ugly Notification tray
Did you actually see how does their Notification Center looks ? its too cool

 

[eyecon82]

apple *****es and moans every time someone copies something of theirs..and sues everyone

No its not hypocrisy at all. There is a big difference between obvious copying ui elements than using a feature that most phones do. There's only really two ways to do notifications the android or webos style. The Webos style is patented so you can only go with the pull done notification.

If were talking about being oringal maybe google should have found a better way to zoom in or not build a browser based around webkit right?

Pull down? why can't you have the option to press/hold the home button(change it from voice control) on the iPhone and have it pull out an overlayed slider from the left or right? there's other ways than to blatantly steal and say you innovated. Why not have it pull from the bottom? It's easier to pull the bar up than to pull it down.

This isn't like copying pinch/zoom.. Apple took Android's notification system and tweaked it to their liking.

Good artists copy.. great artists steal.

My problem is Apple suing Samsung saying they copied their UI.. SUED them. They subpoena'd Samsung to gain access to their unreleased hardware to see if it's infringing.. a Judge granted Apple access to this. Samsung followed suit and wanted access to Apple's unreleased hardware.. think the judge will grant this? No.. it's a double edged sword, ALWAYS in favor of Apple.

Then what do they do? They copied Android's notification UI!

My problem is the elitism that Apple has created. People literally think they are better than you because they have Apple hardware. People will forgo eating, clothes, sleeping, HAVING A KIDNEY, for Apple products. That's ridiculous.

Anyone else sick of Apple getting away with this?

Did you see the new iOS 5 feature that allows mobile file downloads via browser. What does this remind you of.
