Nice list.  8 Android phones, 1 Blackberry and 1 Apple.  Looks like Apple is
doing just fine.

Had apps, tiles, and native Office functionality before Jobs stole them, like he did from Xerox PARC, but what do you know.

'For more than a decade now, I've listened to the debate about where the Macintosh user interface came from. Most people assume it came directly from Xerox, after Steve Jobs went to visit Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). This "fact" is reported over and over, by people who don't know better (and also by people who should!). Unfortunately, it just isn't true - there are some similarities between the Apple interface and the various interfaces on Xerox systems, but the differences are substantial.'

'Bruce Lawrence Horn (born 1959[1]) is a programmer. He created the original Macintosh Finder and the Macintosh Resource Manager for Apple Computer.
