They said, the iPhone would change the mobile game and raise the bar for rest of the industry. I completely agree with that assessment and have commented on it myself. I was expecting the rest of the mobile manufacturers would get down in the trenches and start putting out devices, which could trump the iPhone. I mean, some of these guys have been in the Phone business for more than a decade. They surely know some things better than Apple. Sure they haven’t released anything that exciting in the past due to cost reasons or whatever. However the gates are widen open now and the market is very receptive.
Having said that, I never quite imagined that everyone else would blatantly start copying Apple and start offering almost similar designs to its consumers. No, I am not talking about fake iPhones, which are rampant on the streets of China. I am talking about other prominent players in the mobile industry. Let’s look at some of them who have completely surrendered and following Apple blatantly.
Nokia
Yes I was amazed too. Given all their N series, one would be surprised to see them copy Apple. Seriously I dont know how those PHDs up in Helsinki let this happen. Here is their latest device. Aside from the logo one cannot differentiate this from the iPhone. Image courtesy Engadget, read the whole story there.
