Re: Slavishly Copied
Only after Apple showed the way on how to create a usable interface on a mobile phone (because smartphones we already had) did the smartphone take off, after which Google just copied the concept for Android
I remember all the iPhone fans pissing themselves like an over-excited hyperactive puppy in a tennis ball factory when a previous release of IOS introduced Apple's latest "inovation" - a notification bar at the top of the screen where a user could see things such as recent messages, emails etc.
Rather like my Android phone had been doing 4 years previously.
