    It's an appealing feature that consumers want, apple has a copied off of a lot of things as well and it's helped them to become very successful. Copying is very common in the electronic world and it can lead to a hault in the evolution of it but it usually gets better with the minds of every company thinking up new ways to use it.

  • In the market of gadgets and electronics, not because you was the first in do something make you better or more successful, if don't believe that just ask to Microsoft and think in the relation of them with Apple.

    Regards.

  • You cannot license or trademark a functionality, what you can do is trademark the constructions blocks of that feature, in the case that you have imagined and build the blocks.

  • the iphone is much louder and faster

  • so true

  • The way you switch between landscape and portrait? No, other phones had that before, my Nokia N95 could do that long before the iphone came out, it's a chip called an accelerometer that allows this to happen, that tech wasn't invented by or owned by Apple :)

  • I agree with you. No one before had thought of it so if now people are actually making more multi touch phones they should find their own way of making things, to try to improve. Copying doesn't lead you anywhere.

  • Not multi-touch, that came before the iPhone. But the way you zoom in and out, the way you switch between landscape view and vertical... Apple came up with those ideas and now seems like "everyone's" doing it.

    It's a fact.

  • Multi-touch?

    Sorry you cant.
