1. The HTC Touch is not the only “touchscreen-equipped device”. Touch-screen equipped phone have been around for 3-4 years. I owned my first one way back in 2004.

2. Icons on the phone screen has been something windows mobile devices have been able to do, years before anyone even thought about the iPhone. There’s been software to show your messages, missed calls, and evereything else for years.

3. Just because Apples creates a product or software interface does not mean that they were the ones who came up with the idea. Remember that whole visual voicemail thing that they said they created? They are now getting sued over it since they simply took the idea form someone else who has it pattented without asking.

But rther than saying a screen with icons (old stuff) copies iPhone, it should be noted that iPhone is behind a main UI curve in smartphones… the programmable homescreen.

Especially WM phones have the choice of many user customizable home screen that can show / do almost anything the owner wants.
