"People often say that Android is a copy of iOS."

Who are those "people"?

Sounds like the author is debating a position that few people actually hold.

View on HN

I actually think that it is obvious.

so what you are saying they copied from RIM then realized its better to copy from Apple? ;)

Most people on HN. Or at least so it seems when reading this site. Heck, even this article was flagged and removed, while Gruber's trollbait about Apple innovation is always gold here. Go figure.

And San Fransisco bloggers writing in a coffee-shop on leached wifi on their Macbook Airs. These people have never heard about anything at all until Apple announces it at a keynote.

The people who didn't consider "Folders. Reinvented" a joke, they say so.

You know... These kind of people. The say that.

And you are obviously a very calm and objective person, without any preconceived idea over Apple users, I notice.

Oh certainly. But the free passes and ridiculous praise Apple gets on this site does get annoying and it does manage to annoy me. In fact my ill conception of Apple users comes mostly from people I see on sites like this and in other forms in the online community.

Make of that what you like, but at least I am intellectually honest about it.

I've actually heard this several times from people when I extol the virtues of Android. I use both systems, though.
