iOS 5 Steals Some Of Its Best Features From Android

Steve Jobs Says Great Artists Steal Yet Apple Sues Anyone Who Tries While Gleaning Best iOS 5 Features From Android

In an article totally based on keen observation, Android Authority points out some interesting new features iOS 5 sports that seem to look vaguely familiar. You see, many of them have been Android features for some time. Did Android score a compliment from Apple or is this outright thievery?

Lets take a look at some of these Android features iOS 5 now comes with, shall we?

  • Notification Center: Android has had the notification bar since 2008 and a very tiny name change makes it a brand new iOS 5 feature.
  • Twitter and iOS integration: Since the release of Android 2.0, developers have been able to add their app to the sharing menu. Now Twitter sharing proliferation is a new thing?
  • Widgets: Android has always been all over widgets and it’s taken this long for Apple to catch up?

In an old interview, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs talks a little bit about design and makes the statement that “great artists steal.” Funny statement for a company who spends so much time suing other companies for copyright infringement.

      Yeah except Android wasn’t the first with widgets. Look up SPB Mobile Shell for windows mobile 6. Android stole the entire UI interface from that. Which I should point out that it was released a year before Android came out.

      first widgets are Microsoft property which Google stole, all they did was lets take those widgets from a big screen and put them on a small one.Second notification center was made up by the jailbreak community how is it androids, Google copied them.Third and final point social media integration no android phone has this integrated this is a lie,in fact Microsoft mango is the only os that truly integrates social media, next time you write an article don’t be bias.

      There would be no Android if it wasn’t for all the inovation that Apple has created. Android has copied everything they have.
