Today, the technology world is gripped by what can only be described as a dirty war between iOS on one side, and Android on the other. While the parties in this war fight it out in the US court system, the web has latched onto this conflict like a starved leach to a nice juicy ankle, and this focus on just iOS and Android has had a rather unpleasant side effect. This effect was subtle at first, but now, it's everywhere. Yes, if you were to believe the web, iOS and/or Android invented everything when it comes to mobile operating systems. I will have none of that, and my PDA collection begs to differ too.

I still don't quite get this reasoning.
Development of the Newton platform started in 1987
Palm Computing, Inc., was founded in 1992 by Jeff Hawkins ... to create a PDA for consumers, called the Zoomer (1993).... ...
and Atari had STPad in 1991.
at the end, all this shit does not count!
what's count is that Apple undoubtedly move PDA/SmartPhones, with iOS devices, to entirely NEW level! This is FACT. period.
...first Android devices was keyboard oriented like BlackBerry, Nokie E61... Android shift to multitouch paradigm only after iPhone being hot seller.
so, yes please, COPY Apple as much as you can *coz they move things forward* (in right direction) !
btw I did not even know that there was StreetFighter 1 !!!
