How does Apple get "pwned" by being blatantly copied? There is nothing original about their design or concept. If you look under the hood, the similarities end after the splash screen. You can't recreate 15 years* of OS X framework creation overnight.
These copycat creations are nothing more than proof that the iPhone has shifted the paradigm. Consumers—regardless of your cell carrier or phone manufacturer—will inevitably benefit from Apple's iPhone and the new way it interacts with the carrier's network. I'm looking forward to the new, legitimate ideas that make it to market.
It is rumoured that the chief designer at Apple responsible for the design of the iPhone, came up with the idea after a tour of several factories in China.

Afraid to admit that the Chinese pwned Apple on this one, Engadget?

* Don't forget that OS X started with NeXt.
