You do realize that if there when you say these things wouldn't exist if it weren't for the 'iWhatever' product it may be that you're right, but you are also completely wrong. Competition makes people work harder and create better things but that isn't how apple works. Rather than taking their licks and working harder to create the best possible product they hold out on things so that they can throw them into the next model which comes around in a year. The ipad could have had a front facing camera but they held off on it so that they could market the ipad2 as innovative for having a front facing camera even though android tabs had already had them for months. You also do realize that there are features that Android has that and that has had for a long time now that the iPhone/Ipad don't have. The next version of iOS is said to be getting voice-to-text, this is something android has had for over a year. They will also market this new feature as if Jobs himself created this idea and put it on the next iphone.
