>The same with phones compared to iPhone.

Except, of course, for that phone reveled before the iPhone that had the same basic style. It was a style that the industry was headed towards anyway, apple just helped the momentum.

(You aren't talking about that Samsung phone which were announced before the iPhone but not shown until a good while after the iPhone was released?)

Cool, new to me. I note that the Wikipedia page says LG muttered about suing Apple over the iPhone. :-)
