Nor, as was pointed out, is it an Apple invention. You could just as easily claim that Apple and Google ripped off the LG Prada: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada_(KE850)

It was pointed out by you, and it was irrelevant. Nobody claimed it was an Apple invention, and if you want to go down this slippery slope let's attribute everything to the first guy who put pixels on a screen. I'm certain everything else in the history of application development and user interfaces derives from that as a plainly obvious application.

Then you agree with me that Apple didn't invent the UI or form factor, and merely aggregated/imitated/improved on the work of others. Which is exactly the same thing Google did with Android.

So... what are we arguing about?

Images of the LG Prada were first leaked on Dec 15, 2006. The iPhone was announced on Jan 9, 2007. It's hard to imagine that Apple revamped the entire form-factor of their two-year phone project in 25 days.

LG Prada was first presented in September 2006, so you could add another 90 days to the 25 figure.

Or claim that all of them ripped off Neonode

The form-factor is definitely part of the UI/UX of these devices. I'm sure Apple had various wacky prototypes as well that never made it to market.
