Sorry, Qualcomm, Apple – your patents don't scare us

Re: Inventing the IP ≠ Being The Bully

What exactly are Android devices if not a ripoff of Apple invented IP?

Why exactly is ripped off Apple invented IP called 'competition' against Apple? It's plagiarism.

Apple did not invent icons (that was Xerox PARC)

Apple did not invent touch screens (that was E. A. Johnson)

Apple did not invent touchscreen phones (that would be the IBM Simon)

Apple apparently did not invent the first "rounded corners" rectangular phone where the touchscreen was the main interface (that might be the LG Prada)

So please, enlighten me with exactly which "Apple invented IP" that Android ripped off? From here it looks like Android "copied" exactly the same other people's IP that Apple copied used to make the iPhone, but I'm willing to be corrected. :)
