Taking great features from others should be nothing to be ashamed of. It’s what made Android great (among other things, obviously). I always hate it when companies are unwilling to copy great ideas because of, well, I don’t know, maybe pride? It’s bad for the user. Mobile OS A has great feature X, mobile OS B has great feature Y, but no OS has features X and Y – and that just plain sucks for the user. It goes without saying that sometimes it’s good to copy a little less and do things your own way a bit more. That was the situation in 2007. Recently, Microsoft also went that route (and they should be admired for that). But sometimes it’s not. Polishing iOS seems like the right thing to do right now – and that includes looking elsewhere for inspiration.
