My phone and Nook Color are both running CyanogenMod 7, which essentially amounts to stock Android 2.3.3/2.3.4 with tweaks. I do not think they could look more different from iOS. Where is this "resemblance" theory coming from?

EDIT: By "tweaks" I mean "under the hood", as far as I can tell.

They both resemble this more than anything.
