What The Google Phone Stole From The iPhone

Most American CEOs are unfit to manage their companies. They crush innovation -- and then in a few years the company goes belly-up. Both Apple and Google have management that understands, just like Edison did, that if you are not innovating as a company you are dying.
It's too bulky, too awkward, quirky operating system and not stylish enough. Sorry.
they can all keep trying to copy the iPhone ... it's not going to measure up. Maybe they should trying being innovative and come up with their own new bells and whistles.
This "borrowing" is how the computer industry innovates. Now, that statement might sound very strange, but it really isn't. We take what has already been done and then try to advance it in some way.
Within Apple's own domain, "the iPhone itself" is just such an "adaptive innovation." Virtually all of the software environment is ... OS/X. Yep, the same software that runs your Macintosh. Which, in turn, is based on open-source Darwin Unix.
The Android is an open-source system implemented on a different kind of phone. It was done this way specifically to encourage and to facilitate this "adaptive innovation" idea. Instead of putting up barriers to keep you from getting "where Android is now," they've handed it to you with their blessing.
And so we will see, in Apple's inevitable response, a very-rapid advance in the technology and the capabilities of BOTH systems. We're already seeing advances taking place in other more-traditional telephones. And because the developers who are working on these projects are talking to one another every day, for us consumers "a rising tide lifts all boats."
What the Google phone stole from the iPhone.
Um, let me guess...it's sphincter?
