Oh no - we’re being told they are clones of the iPhone. Clearly your eyes (i’s?) are defective! And everyone KNOWS that Windows Mobile with HTC TouchFLO (introduced and for sale before the iPhone) is a direct rip-off from iOS!
Where DO you get your factoids??? Since when is June 7, 2007, the date that HTC TouchFLO announcement articles start appearing on Google, after January 8, 2007, the announcement date of the iPhone? And why is there an article dated June 27, 2008, entitled "HTC TouchFLO finally works!" one of the first hits? Wickipedia describes HTC TouchFLO as a touch screen interface that allows one to slide one's finger around the screen to make a selection on mobile devices. It preceded HTC TouchFLO 3d. WOW. Usually when someone (you?) uses the phrase "everyone knows" it is followed by something that is untrue.
