Apple has done an optimum job of putting existing technologies together to make the iPhone. The keyword there is ‘existing’. Multitouch, touchscreens, portrait rotation, Webkit, Widgets and accelerometers were not Apple inventions, so accusing new phones of being iPhone clones is rather absurd and rather cultic rewriting of technological history.

Your first sentence of the second paragraph should read “their”, not “they’re”.

And we’re supposed to trust you? Scary. Go get a job at Apple.

I have been thinking that for sometime wasn’t Windows Mobile one of the first touchscreen devices. Wouldn’t that mean Apple is a clone of that and just happened to make it better?

I guess people are saying everything is a iClone because it mimics what the iPhone does and the look of the OS on the screen.

Windows Mobile devices and some others have been at it for several years after evolving from the Pocket PC PDA platform. The iPhone is great but please don't treat readers as idiotic mindless souls incapable of knowing just a few years of tech history.</p> I do feel embarrassed and ashamed when iPhone users attempt to rewrite history with the idea that the iPhone somehow invented the touchscreen market.

The push e-mail on BB is great. If apple could get that down then I would be very happy.</p> I look at it this way, the next iPhone will have a better screen and better processor and more memory – :P

Also, I'd love to see how their native apps look on the screen not just the ones that look good on the big screen. I'd love to see more about how navigation takes place on the device beyond a single touch. Where an iPhone user can pinch, squeeze and multi touch I'd like to see how RIM compensates. Finally, if it's a multi-media device like the iPhone what's the story that they have for movies, music, podcasts, etc. Time will tell if their nearly 2 years of development have allowed them to be competitive of just another wannabe.</p> I’d like to see a full list of technical specs, not just the ones where they are compatible or better than the iPhone.
