So how does everyone feel that apple has stolen the things that set android apart? Such as the drag down notifications! I think that for a company that loves sueing people, its a bit funny that they'd steal something so obvious as this...? It actually angers me!

it's just more proof that the apple fan boys are wrong when they think the sun shines out of steve jobs ass
Steal something? What they have done is a stroke of engineering genius that's accessible to the common user. Android's version is much more geeky and could never get mainstream usage.

Swings and round abouts, it was actually the jailbreak community they stole everything from. Lots of pee'd of dev's now with redundant apps.
Hell they even employed a dev after already sticking his notification app into iOS 5 - way to avoid any legal issues.
on another note it actually looks more advanced that the android notification system.
without Apple and ios most phones would still be stuck on symbian with Nokia sitting in its hands milking the same crappy and outdated OS for years to come.
Let Apple copy and play catch-up , not a big deal imo.

it was a sarcastic pop at what apple would say about it, as they claim everything they do is mechanical genius and android is full of geeks in labcoats
Well they are sore losers 1st they sue htc then sammy and now they coppy them and Google I mean they are so FAKE they dont have there own ideas so they copy others ideas? :S ios 5 is a complete android ripoff anyway who cares we still top the charts in sales dev community apps better hardware etc the sgs 2 beat the iphone 4 sales by 10 million even though its not released everywhere

I don't see the point of this thread. Oir the point of XDA keeping a separate domain for iPhone developers. Don't we all have smartphones in the end? Wouldn't it be better if we all had a common hub for developers to influence each other? I'd love a Blackberry section as well...

I have the xperia play, ipod touch, iphone 3GS and Ipad 2. I am enjoying both OS's and am glad that the best features are making it to both.
Think of it this way android is linux open source. Almost all innovation from linux is stolen without credit where it due.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
All in all, I'm glad iOS is getting new features. It actually benefits us when manufacturers add these things because it brings competition. I just don't like how Jobs and all of the tech magazines/websites will tout this and other features as groundbreaking additions pioneered by Apple.

Yeah I suppose you guys are right. I just cant stand the people that will look at ios and say down when android has had these features for years.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I agree, I think iPhones (and Blackberrys to some extent) are waaaaaaay over rated, they just have alot of hype.
Take BBM for example, it is almost exactly the same as WhatsApp, yet everyone is going nuts about it. The only feature it has over WhatsApp, is that is has a notification system where it tells you when the recipient has read the message. On the other hand, WhatsApp imo, is alot better because it supports Android, Nokia handsets, IPhone and I think, although not sure, BlackBerry too.
Besides, whats so much better about the iPhone/iPads? Except the fact that everyone glorifies them for no justified reason

whatsapp has nearly the same. 1 green mark next to a message says it's safely off your phone on the interwebs
2 green marks next to each other say it has landed on the device of the receiver.
just thinking open source projects always get s**t on. KHTML by Apple, KDE candy by Windows, LibreOffice by OpenOffice and mySQL in general.

iPhone gets flash now, Steve jumps off a cliff.
honestly, I hope apple can keep up the momentum he started. If iphone didn't start the trend, we may never have gotten android, and if the 2 didn't keep trying to 1up eachother, android wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Competition drives innovation. I wish apple luck... if only to keep a fire lit under google's ass

So I got a Epic Touch for a reasonable price that should be arriving tomorrow. Not getting rid of my Epic, but it won't be on a line. I'll be happy to test anything for people. Please feel free to contact me. I'll be lurking and helping here still. Not to fear.
Let us know how it is going from epic's QWERTY to no-keyboard.
The keyboard options for new phones are sparse and not terribly viable (droid 4's display, bootloader, etc).
It will soon be time for all of us to move on, and life in the non-qwerty world seems daunting!

Omg when my sister upgraded to the 4S on att I played with it for a bit and she got a text and I saw a little symbol in the "notification bar" uptop and habitually swiped down and forgot I was on an iphone lmfao I was like "O.O and they sue google partners over **** that people can't even see?"
I wish we had "technology courts" or something that will have judges who specialize in electronics and will actually know when a company is suing, that company also has parts blatantly stolen from "company b".

Hi there, in short is it worthy to buy a WP8 like Luma 920? It looks great ,actually its better than the SGS3 at&t version in hardware aspect , yet I'm fried that it'll be costly and unable to ,, unlook ~so you can download paid app 4 free ,for a while, I believe that Nokia took out the SD card so u can't unlook, also I'm fried that Nokia will dump it year later as the Luma 900 ?so r u optimistic about it? Currently I have no money, so I'll wait for the next iPhone ,Note2, HTC new power full device, log optimus G, and of course the Luma

WP8 will remain supported for a while (2 years or so)
No, you can't unlock it, and you shouldn't unlock it unless you are a developer. Paying for your apps is something you should do, because these apps do not write themselves.
Actually, no, I'm not afraid that WP8 might make it harder to steal apps, because I don't intend to steal anything in the first place. If money is a problem for you, get a mid-range Android and enjoy the fact that many of the apps are free.
The thing is Android become very boring ,so the iOS , I would like to try a new OS without my freedom gone, probably I'll stack to Android

OMG the OP actually has made be angry!!! This idea that its ok to steal because lets blame the banks or the government etc is the biggest cr4p in the world. Your scum and are destroying the industry just look at the PC games market. I love the idea of hacking a phone to unlock it to side load apps that are otherwise not available but to do it to rip of hard working underpaid devs is nothing but cheap nasty and chav! If you cant afford it get a better job or get something cheaper, I mean if you can afford a nice new wp8 handset you can affor 79p for an app.

That....is insane. Maybe the Samsung case victory went to their heads a little too much.
I think Apple’s corporate belief (and this started with Jobs) is that people are really, really stupid and can’t be trusted with anything. They completely lock down their products and make them so frustratingly simple a 2 year old can use them to their full potential. They may actually believe that their users are so stupid they might mistake this polish deli for some incredible, magical new product from Apple.
