How does Apple get "pwned" by being blatantly copied? There is nothing original about their design or concept. If you look under the hood, the similarities end after the splash screen. You can't recreate 15 years* of OS X framework creation overnight.
These copycat creations are nothing more than proof that the iPhone has shifted the paradigm. Consumers—regardless of your cell carrier or phone manufacturer—will inevitably benefit from Apple's iPhone and the new way it interacts with the carrier's network. I'm looking forward to the new, legitimate ideas that make it to market.

You might have a point if the iPhone was the first mobile to be cloned by the knock off artist. Given that this is far from the truth, would you say that all other phones that received the knockoff treatment also "shifted the paradigm"?

* Don't forget that OS X started with NeXt.

Methinks you've bought into the hype.
