So many companies just do cargo culting when they imitate Apple without understanding :-(

  When Apple makes a white and slightly rounded version of something that others made years ago, it actually turns out that they are inventing it for the first time. It doesn't exist until Apple makes it.

    It isn't about rounded corners. It's about polished implementations that don't suck running on solid hardware.

      Don't bother dude, you can't argue with haters. They're gonna hate no matter what.

    Slightly tangential response: "Why Apple does not do concept products" http://counternotions.com/2008/08/12/concept-products/ http://counternotions.com/2008/08/12/concept-products/

    Competition from companies who continue to think Apple just took an existing phone, and made it slightly rounder, or took existing tablets, and made them slightly thinner, or took existing laptop designs, and made them slightly sleeker, is why Apple mercilessly dominates those industries.

      When another company copies an idea, it is "cargo culting" from Apple. But when Apple copies an idea, it is doing exactly what it should be doing. The reality is that lots of companies copy lots of ideas and that is normal. The exchange doesn't just go from Apple geniuses to everyone else. No company is an island
