I respect folks that take an existing idea and evolve it. But for some reason the App Store in particular tends to attract a certain type of developer whose entire approach involves cloning other successful apps in an attempt to make a buck or two. I have had my iPad app cloned (essentially screen-for-screen) and it definitely felt like a kick in the gut when I found out. The only consolation is that it's pretty obvious that nobody is downloading his clone and the developer most likely wasted his time that could have been better spent doing something original.
