@Billy when you reivent you are the one copying,maybe taking it next level,but the Ipad is not a wonderchild,it is a nice device but limited and especially at its cost it isjust OK ...copycatting would be making something from something that was original,making a competitive device is what you are seeing others do ,small and touch ,well that would be the latitude 2100 right.....
@Billy It seems that way because you are a iTard fanboi. The only reason Apple gets there first is because they rush their devices, and leave out critical features and do no do nearly as much beta testing on the devices as they should (WIFI radio reception problems?) If they did it right and gave people the options they want they wouldn't be first to market. This goes with everything from touch phones to tablets, to app stores. And frankly I couldn't give less of a crap if people are claiming that Google is copying Apple. I'd rather have a device later and more complete (which allows you to load any damn app you damn well want on the system.) then bragging rights that we were first. What are you 12? Anyone with a brain would know that if a device is out within 6 months; it sure as hell wasn't copied from Apple. It was concurrently developed. Apple may do it first, everyone else does it better for less. Enjoy your first gen Apple product.
@Kwame Nkrumah Because it has been stated MULTIPLE times that Android and Chrome are likely to converge over time. The interface is really no matter anyway because 90% of all your processing is going to be done in the cloud once Google fully realizes this goal.
Does it better my foot. According to the satisified consumers of Apple products they sure are doing it better than others. Apple rushing devices, don't make me laugh. The ones who are rushing are devices are the competition who wait to see what Apple has to release before rushing out theirs.
@Kwame Nkrumah You don't have time to do anyones homework for them and you are asking us links for an article you've never seen? Please. This whole conversation is much ado about nothing.
The whole point why I even responded to the original post is because Apple did not invent and I was just attempting to point it out.
@Kwame Nkrumah I want Chrome OS tablet. I think it would rock the world. I love my n1 but Android on more then 7 inches may not be the best option. I mean I dont want a massive n1 tablet.
@John Doe for less? mmmm i think pretty much everyone is at the 199 price point for smartphones. no one else has entered the PMP tablet market, and really made an impact yet so u cant judge that quite yet. as for doing it better, thats a personal opinion. i personally like the iphone os better than android, but thats just me. as for loading anything on the phone, did u get to read the q&a after the iphone os announcement? android has a porn store. u can download it, your kids can download it, pretty much anyone because its an open market. true, who is apple to police our lives? well they are just protecting their brand.

Wyy is it that Apple seems to be re-inventing everything and every other company seems to copycat Apple... :O
@Billy
Google has been gearing towards this for a long time since before the introduction of Chrome OS.
@djt
Dude they said this is an Android tablet, not Chrome OS.
@Billy reinventing is in of itself being a copycat. Sheeple...
@Kwame Nkrumah
If it runs Chome OS or Android does not matter tbh.

@Hazdaz: who's copying who? that concept picture was available a WHOLE DAY before iPad. (I saw this while replying.)
@Steve Mobs
Why does it not matter. Android and Chrome OS are not the same thing and it specifically says Android.

@djt
Stated by who, you?
@Kwame Nkrumah
The voice here of an iPad user desperately trying to overcome buyer's remorse.
@Kwame Nkrumah Eric Schmidt, if memory serves me correctly.
@Palpatine
Since I don't have an iPad, what makes you think so?
@djt
I have never seen that mentioned anywhere.
@Kwame Nkrumah Officially by Google
@Kwame Nkrumah
Then your hearsay about "satisfied apple consumers" is just exactly that. It's magical and revolutionary because they say it is?
@Wello
Link?
@Palpatine
Dude go and look up all the industry satisfaction surveys released and you will see what I mean, I don't have time to do anybody's homework for them.
@Kwame Nkrumah
Supporting your own comments is hardly my homework.
@Billy
"Wyy is it that Apple seems to be re-inventing everything and every other company seems to copycat Apple"
Yeah because Apple invented the tablet right, next you're going to tell me Apple invented multi tasking

@John Doe
Congratulations, your post has been nominated for the bizarro-alternate-reality post of the year.
Translation: get a clue, dickhead.
@John Doe for less? mmmm i think pretty much everyone is at the 199 price point for smartphones. no one else has entered the PMP tablet market, and really made an impact yet so u cant judge that quite yet. as for doing it better, thats a personal opinion. i personally like the iphone os better than android, but thats just me.
as for loading anything on the phone, did u get to read the q&a after the iphone os announcement? android has a porn store. u can download it, your kids can download it, pretty much anyone because its an open market. true, who is apple to police our lives? well they are just protecting their brand.
@Kwame Nkrumah
SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE AN APPLE TROLL
Countdown 3..2..1..
@Beatnik
And it seems you lack the logical capacity to think for yourself.
@Kwame Nkrumah
Mental capacity

I am a Physician and have saved many lives, now WTF are you talking about, you IDIOT, GO TROLL AT ANOTHER PLACE.
