Google’s Android an iPhone rip-off?
(Pocket Picks, UK)

Google has just released the software development kit (SDK) for Android and it’s already apparent that the SDK’s very heavily influenced by Apple.

So where does the Apple link come in? The platform for Android’s web browser is the same as for Apple’s Safari (as seen on computers and the iPhone).

And that’s not all: other areas of the OS also resemble existing Apple operating systems – including the need to tap and finger-drag to scroll round pages. There’s also a Mac OSX-style dock and a Cover Flow-style interface for pop-up notices (as seen on the iPhone).
