Also if you actually look at the icons from both this phone and OS X and compare them you can tell the only similarity they have is the general shape. The light source for LG's icon is from the top, while Apple's looks to be from the front or at an angle. The other icons you can't really complain about either: a camera for a camera, mail for mail, a picture for pictures (though it is a flower), a calendar for a calendar, etc. I'm not an LG fanboy or an Apple hater, I just happened to look up the screen shots because I was not sure who was correct (I don't use OS X or an iPhone). Calling the icons "pixel for pixel" is just straight up stupid. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reader]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2008 2:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, since anonymouspimp clearly didn't understand what Quix was talking about, I had to make it more clear for him. And the thing is, those icons do look just like Apple's icons. You know, it is possible to design icons using a music note that doesn't looks just like Apple's icon. You can change the proportions, stylize it, make it a different color, make it look like it has a different texture... there are hundreds of ways to do it.<br><br>The fact that LG didn't do any of those things is the point. In fact they made an effort to create icons that intentionally look like Apple's icons, probably because they're not very creative over at LG.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2008 4:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ugly!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arkenklo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2008 11:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just not a fan of either the Chocolate 2 or 3 (as far as looks.

Why are people so concerned if something looks like something else? The only thing I'm concerned about is how well the interface works, and to a lesser extent how attractive it is. Leave worrying about whether it's too close to another product to the copyright lawyers--that's what they get paid to do. <br><br>Similarity in interface is actually beneficial to the consumer IMO because it aids in comprehension. I've never driven a Ford and complained, "OMG, they totally stole the speedometer display from Chevy!' <br><br>Get over yourselves. I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find something that used similar icons before Apple. Nobody cares. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Chastain]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2008 12:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[The reviewer said MiniUSB but i'm pretty sure he means MicroUSB because that's what the EnV2, Decoy, Dare all use.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jughead]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2008 3:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[Forget the icons (despite the camera+photo icon put together would be a spitting image of iPhoto's, save for the daisy picture).

Okay phone hobbled by some really weird design decisions.  The biggest bit of fail was the proprietary jack, through which headphones (2.5mm through a special connector, bad!) and charging had to take place.  The jack's design was spectacularly crappy, and they were wise to drop it.  The other biggest bit of fail was the 50 song limit on playlist size.  That was a stupid idea in a phone that could hold up to 2gb of songs.  This numero three sounds like they fixed most of the things I was disappionted with (USB charging ftw) but I'm probably waiting to see what Android brings to the table before getting another phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fnc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2008 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LG's Chocolate 3 doesn't melt during hands-on]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/lgs-chocolate-3-doesnt-melt-during-hands-on/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or is the Chocolate getting uglier and uglier with every new version they come out with.
