The bold sums it up. Honestly I (and probably nearly everyone else out there) don't care about that. Every company pretty much does that. The problem is with Apple fans and Apple themselves thinking Apple actually invented everything and deserve exclusive rights to everything. Look at all of these ridiculous lawsuits by Apple. And look at the people defending them without wasting a single breath. Check this forum out: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=146839&page=1.

That thread has five obnoxious Android trolls to every Apple "supporter" (and some of those supporters are just pointing out the similarities to the iPhone and nothing more).

Awful example.

BTW, Apple didn't copy notifications from Android. Both Android and Apple copied it from WebOS.

I've never heard of WebOS, but different distros of Linux itself had similar notification systems. Android brought it as a pull-down to mobiles.

And name one "Android troll" from that thread. People there (myself included) were condemning Apple's actions, and trying to educate the Apple supporters that this behaviour is bad for innovation and unnaceptable.

No offense but you shouldn't be trying to "educate" anyone about mobile tech if you've never even heard of WebOS. They failed spectacularly less than 18 months ago. It was the direct descendent of PalmOS, purchased by HP and later sold off. They had an excellent notification system long before either Android or iOS developed anything worth a damn. You can claim that Apple has innovated little in the mobile space (which is a ridiculous statement to make) but if you're going to claim that, you also have to make the claim that by comparison, Android has not innovated at all. Early Android OSes were little more than iOS knock-offs. Since then it has matured into a fine operating system but Apple had a legitimate reason to be a little pissed at how blatantly Google was aping their designs. At least MS had the decency to develop a new, cleaner, and I'd argue better, user interface design. Active Tiles are a fantastic idea, I just wish MS would stop screwing up almost every aspect of their mobile strategy and become a legitimate competitor (I'm a current Android owner that will probably grudingly move back to iPhone because I just don't like the Android ecosystem much).

That thread is little more than a shouting match between Android and Apple apologists.
