  The point of that image is to get eyeballs, Nokia sharing some mindspace with Iphone. Besides Nokia did it with polycarbonate.

Nokia is full of it here, it's not like Apple has never released multicolored versions of their products before: http://cdn.cnet.com.au/story_media/339291893/apple_ipod_2008_1.jpg http://cdn.cnet.com.au/story_media/339291893/apple_ipod_2008... http://images.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/images/hero1.jpg http://images.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/images/hero1.jpg http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/iPod_touch_34L_5Up_AllColors_NowPlaying_PRINT-580x478.jpg http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/iPod_tou...

  Two points: 1) Crayola got there before Apple did. 2) Rounded corners patent.

  They could also be pointing out that the device color matches the OS color. I'm pretty sure Apple has never done that before.

    In Mac OS 8, the 'yum!' Gestalt selector returned a value corresponding to the case color. The OS tinted based on this value (at least on first install.)

  It isn't just the colors, the shape and the plastic back look quite similar to the Lumia 620. https://www.google.com/search?q=lumia+620&tbm=isch&tbo=u https://www.google.com/search?q=lumia+620&tbm=isch&tbo=u

Nokia's bragging point is that Apple caught up to them on...color? Hey, how's the processing power on those industry-leading colorful devices? and the biometric security?

  Note that biometrics are identifiers, they cannot be used for authentication (not securely anyway).
