Nokia means Apple in Finnish

Spoken like a true Appleteeny!

Look at it this way: Larger, brighter, more graphical screen? Well-thought-out, intuitive interface? OMG, Apple are ripping off Nokia! Those are exactly the things that made Nokia’s name.

Apple, I admit, did come up with a new great interface that rocked the industry. Effectively they created a new class of device. But why shouldn’t others compete for that market segment by copying and learning? Heck, they might even improve on it. That actually is possible.

And an intriguing aside: I’ve yet to meet an iPhone user who wasn’t already a Mac user.

Well if you consider me someone you’ve “met”, Sergei, then you’ve met someone who has an iPhone and has never had a Mac. And I’m no Apple fanboy. I’ve got a machine running XP at home and a laptop dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu. I’m big on OS and human interface design, they’re very interesting to me. I’ve played with the Storm and plenty of other phones and the iPhone is exquisitely designed. I absolutely love mine. That’s not to say there aren’t things that drive me nuts about it here and there but they’re minor, and on the whole it’s head and shoulders above any other phone I’ve ever used. And as they’ve pushed out software updates it’s only gotten better.

I am, in fact, posting this from my iPhone.

Controversial shmontroversial. I’m pretty sure it just comes down to you being jealous of my iPhone.
