Sometime Technology is like Rap music. You hear this new song on the radio with a great beat and you are like whoa! nice how did they come up with this beat? what great creativity! Then the next week you are at your parent's house and you hear the same beat that was created 20 years ago and which everybody forgot about. Oh I see they sampled the song.... 

LG Electronics has claimed the IPhone 's design was copied from the LG Prada. Woo-Young Kwak, head of LG Mobile Handset R&D Center, said at a press conference, “We consider that Apple copied the Prada phone after the design was unveiled when it was presented in the iF Design Award and won the prize in September 2006.”^[4][5]

LG later claimed that Apple stole both the ideas and concept of the Prada phone. A lawsuit by LG had been rumored prior to this announcement; ^[4] however, LG has remained silent on whether or not they will file a lawsuit.

Now of course the Prada does not have all the IPhone features, but that is because it came before!

Honestly, I had a strong feeling that Apple did not just come with this new technology. It had to come from Asia. the funny think about Apple is that they always claimthat they are the first at everything and everybody is copying them...when you digg a little bit you find out that they are not such innovators. i.e the mouse, the GUI etc..
