| It's Not Immitation, He's A Very Naughty Boy- |
HP have called RIM's Blackberry Playbook's UI "a fast immitation of webOS". When you consider the facts, it's not a far off claim, but people have been crying out for various nods of webOS to appear on iOS for quite some
time, yet RIM have taken nearly every aspect of webOS, it could, in respect, be easily confused for a webOS tablet. Jeff McDowell of RIM replied to the claims with "when you're trying to optimize user experience that juggles multitasking, multiple apps open at once and on a small screen, you're going to get people landing on similar kinds of designs."
As they say, immitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Why can't they just get along, eh?
