Is Palm copying Apple's iPhone design?

In case you missed the keynote, Palm took some special moments to let everyone know that they're not trying to compete with Apple -- which is of course exactly what they're doing with the Pre and webOS. Sure, there's plenty of room in the market for multiple operating systems and manufacturers, as both companies have pointed out, but we can't help but think that Palm took a long hard look at where Apple was at with its ultra-successful mobile OS and what they could improve upon, and we would like to assume that Apple is looking very carefully at webOS right now (and hopefully the Pre's physical keyboard, but we're dreamers) and comparing it with its current iPhone OS. So, if you'll indulge us, let's look at a few of the iPhone's existing shortcomings that Apple might try and shore up -- or perhaps already has fixes in the works for -- now that there's some very serious competition on the scene. Plus, with Steve on the sidelines, we can imagine there's some extra pressure on the company to prove that innovation at Apple is not just about one man.


They look very similar, do you think the design was stolen?

Apple iPohone or Palm?

Okay first of if your making a touch device there are only so many things you can do to interact with the device. If your going to start this then you could say that apple ripped of minority report & so on & so forth.
Palm have a solid idea & could make a nice alternative to the iPhone, the keyboard is the winning factor for me at the moment. However the interface needs to be perfect, giving the level of polish the iphone has. The last thing palm needs is to follow the blackberry storm or lg prada.

On a tangent what is it with hacks & jobs. Apple is not jobs. It takes more than one person to make a product. The company will survive without him. If you took jobs out of apple the only thing that would fall over would be jobs.
