Is Google the least innovative high-tech company? I cannot think of a single Google product that wasn't either an improved copy or a takeover of another company

Is Google the least innovative high-tech company? I cannot think of a single Google product that wasn't either an improved copy or a takeover of another company's product.
From search to gmail, maps, android, latitude, g+, tv, and now this.
I AM glad they usually make them better and more polished competitors, but still... not an ounce of originality?
- capnrefsmmat 15y agoThis isn't a Google product -- it's designed by iriver. What's new is that it uses Google Books as its online bookstore, which potentially gives you access to the millions of books they've scanned from university libraries and such.

- jonknee 15y agoWhat's not innovative about being able to massively scale products for a global audience? For example, Gmail debuted with 1000 times more storage than its competitors and when it launched many people thought it was a joke (because it was too good to be true and conveniently launched on April 1st).
