It's not disingenuous, they seriously did lift so much from iOS. Go and find any pre-iPhone phone. Then try and find one that's got an OS more similar to Android than Android is to iOS.
There are admittedly plenty of operations that touch phones have that can't be done any other way, but silly things like sliding left/right as iOS does is a perfect example. WP7 slides up/down. The reason it slides left/right is because Google copied the widget layout.
