Indeed. Apple havent invented anything. And as Winmob etc have had such interfaces before which they will have patented, makes you wonder how Apple managed to get their own patents for exactly the same thing.
Like the ipad. I mean, how can they patent a tablet PC that the likes of HP have been churning out for years?
