I'm unsure why I was down voted for this. Was it because the down-voter didn't agree with my post (strange reason to down vote), or was it because it didn't contribute to the conversation (which I tried quite hard to do - by balancing both sides of the argument). All I was trying to say was that in the field of UI, it is very hard to innovate though very easy to copy, and I can't help but feel that's what's happened here. Path have made a very sexy looking widget which definitely added that certain something to their application, and someone has copied their hard work and made it free for everyone to use.
