They just follow Samsung or any other company that do something new.
For this phone, it can look similar, but it’s really different. The multitouch screen, GPS, itunes, GUI… there are too many features that LG can’t offer. It’s just another boring restyling, old technology and bad user interface…
And they need to put the name PRADA to get some prestige… (who cares for prada? i want good products, not brand!)

Apple has had their phone in development for two and a half years. You can bet LG, a company consumed by profit margins and shareholder returns, would never commit two and a half years of development to any product. They just don’t invest in the kind of R&D required to do so. Obviously Apple has been working on this far longer than LG on theirs. If anything, LG could have used corporate espionage and copied Apple? Who knows, and that’s the point. LG was just the first to announce theirs. It doesn’t mean Apple copied them. And lastly, it really isn’t a copy. The LG phone sucks. Hmm Apple filed over 200 patents for their phone? How many did LG have to file? I’m guessing none since there’s no innovation in the LG phone.

I’m less excited about the GUI and more excited about how Apple is setting out to change the way we do voicemail and text messaging on our phones. It’s going to be a wonderful thing to be able to browse voicemail as if it’s an email inbox…

I can’t take out a loan in order buy the iphone.

A touchscreen it may have, but the UI already looks dated compared to the iPhone.

The software part couldn’t be further from apples… it looks odd, weird, cumbersome and difficult to use. It’s slow and not very intuitive…

So ok. Two companies came up with a touchscreen phone at the same time… I bet, that the touchscreen LG uses is a regular touchscreen, and not a multi touchscreen.

Does it play videos? Does it play iTunes? I read that it will be priced the same as the iPhone. I wonder which one is the better “deal”.

But it’s one of those things that reminds me of Charles Eames’ quote: “Details are not ‘details’, they are the design.” The Prada mostly seems similar to the iphone, but in its details, it’s not even close. That scrollbar already looks antiquated, the animations are just jerky enough to draw attention to themselves, and the colors and typography on the UI look merely good, unlike the iPhone’s pixel-perfect design.

So it´s obviously Apple stealing and not the opposite.
