Comment on Yawn, Google Introduces iPhone Clone

Comments

It's a smartphone. They existed before the iPhone. Even app stores existed before the iPhone - at least in Europe, some companies made millions by selling J2ME apps for "classic phones". They discredited themselves by exploiting gullible teenagers, but still. For all I know, they might still be raking in the big money - they certainly still do TV ads.

What exactly makes a phone an iPhone clone?

The iPhone is a smartphone with a touch screen, The Nexus is a smartphone with a touch screen, Therefore the Nexus is an iPhone :)
